Abstract:
Using genomic approaches, Faiola et al.1 evaluated the Streptococcus pyogenes carriage state, and pre- and post-treatment pharyngitis, directly from human subjects. This work suggests that carriage isolates may evolve with host-specific mechanisms rather than a unified regulatory phenotype.
