Abstract

Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]), a major human-specific pathogen, relies on efficient nutrient acquisition for successful infection within its host. The phosphotransferase system (PTS) couples the import of carbohydrates with their phosphorylation prior to metabolism and has been linked to GAS pathogenesis. In a screen of an insertional mutant library of all 14 annotated PTS permease (EIIC) genes in MGAS5005, the annotated β-glucoside PTS transporter ( bglP ) was found to be crucial for GAS growth and survival in human blood and was validated in another M1T1 GAS strain, 5448.
