Virulence Factors Of The Group A Streptococci And Genes That Regulate Their Expression, Wayne Hines
Virulence Factors Of The Group A Streptococci And Genes That Regulate Their Expression, Wayne Hines
Biological Sciences Faculty Publications
Group A streptococci produce a wide variety of extracellular (cell-associated and released) virulence factors. The function of these factors varies and includes roles in adhesion, spreading, tissue destruction, immune system evasion, and cell toxicity. How these factors are regulated with regard to one another is important for this organism's ability to bring about the variety of diseases this microbe is capable of causing. Therefore, along with the multitude of virulence factors, there are a number of regulatory systems that regulate, either directly or indirectly, the production of these factors and therefore influence the pathogenesis of group A streptococcal infections.

The microbial etiology of periodontal diseases has led to widespread research in the development of methods and local delivery systems to increase the efficacy of antibiotic therapy. Several drug delivery systems employing biodegradable and nonbiodegradable carriers have been shown to release antibiotics directly into periodontal pockets. The purpose of this study was to determine the binding and release kinetics of tetracycline by demineralized bone. Further aspects of the study include in vitro evaluation of DFDBA (demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts) as a tetracycline carrier system for periodontal therapy. Experiments were performed which employed different tetracycline concentrations with constant amounts of bone …
