Rome and necrotizing fasciitis are associated with high morbidity and mortality (1). Although GAS virulence factors have been studied intensively, the mechanisms by which local infections progress to severe systemic infections are not yet fully understood. The systemic activation of host immune responses has been reported to account for several symptoms seen in septic patients, i.e., hypotension,

Mitochondrial pellet was resuspended in digitonin buffer (30 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.4, 150 mM potassium acetate, 10 [v/v] glycerol, and 1 mg of digitonin) and kept on ice for 30 min. Ten microliters of antibody serum, 50 mL of Protein A-Sepharose, 1 (w/v) BSA, and Complete protease inhibitor (Roche) were added to the mitochondria and incubated for 6 h at 4 on a rotating wheel at 20 rpm. Beads were

Ons trigger an activation of the contact system more potently than strains isolated from noninvasive infections. The present study gives new insights into the mechanisms by which S. pyogenes triggers the human contact system and stresses the function of soluble and surface located plasmin exploited as a group A streptococcal virulence factor through the action of streptokinase. treptococcus pyogen

M the infectious diseases working party of the German Society of Hematology and Oncology [10] for the management of sepsis in neutropenic patient recommend the use of norepinephrine as the drug of choice if a sufficient mean arterial pressure (> 65 mmHg) cannot be achieved by fluid resuscitation, associated with dobutamine in case of sepsis-related myocardial depression . Moreover, D. Schnell and
