Streptococci are Gram-positive bacteria that cause a wide spectrum
of diseases, such as pharyngitis, necrotizing fasciitis and
streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, as well as rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease as sequelae. Antibiotics alone have not
been able to control the disease and in spite of many efforts an
effective vaccine is not yet available. A prerequisite for novel
and successful strategies for combating these bacteria is a
complete understanding of the highly complex pathogenic mechanisms
involved, which are analyzed in this volume. In ten chapters,
prominent authors cover various aspects including streptococcal
diseases and global burden, epidemiology, adaptation and
transmission, and molecular mechanisms of different diseases, as
well as sequelae, vaccine development and clinical management. This
book will serve as a valuable reference work for scientists,
students, clinicians and public health workers and provide new
approaches to meeting the challenge of streptococcal diseases.
