Human isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes, a Gram-positive bacterium, are characterized by significant genetic and phenotypic variation. The rgg locus, also known as ropB, is a global transcriptional regulator of genes associated with metabolism, stress responses, and virulence in S. pyogenes strain NZ131 (serotype M49). To assess the breadth of the Rgg regulon, the rgg gene was inactivated in three additional strains representing serotypes M1 (strains SF370 and MGAS5005) and M49 (strain CS101). ...[more]
