Infobox Disease Name Group A streptococcal infection Image Streptococcus pyogenes.jpg Caption Streptococcus pyogenes DiseasesDB ICD10 ICD10 B 95 0 b 95 ICD9 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj article eMedicineTopic 971097 MeshID The group A streptococcus bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes , or GAS is a form of hemolytic Streptococcus bacteria responsible for most cases of streptococcal illness. Other types B, C, D, and G may also cause infection. Several virulence factors contribute to the pathogenesis of GAS, such as M protein Streptococcus M protein , hemolysin s, and extracellular enzymes. details Streptococcus pyogenes these virulence factors Types of infection Infections are largely categorized by the location of infection bacteremia bloodstream impetigo , cellulitis , and erysipelas skin and underlying tissues focal infection s limited to a particular site. Bacteremia can be associated with these infections, but it is not always present. Treatment depends on the specific clinical findings. Types include pneumonia pulmonary alveolus tonsillitis tonsil s septic arthritis joint s osteomyelitis bone s peritonitis peritoneum meningitis meninges vaginitis vagina more common in pre pubescent girls necrotizing fasciitis skin , fascia and muscle scarlet fever upper body sinusitis sinuses . strep throat pharynx toxic shock syndrome multiple systems Note that some of these diseases can be caused by other infectious agents as well. Complications Rapid Strep Test links to here Cleanup reorganize date October 2009 Acute rheumatic fever Acute rheumatic fever ARF is a complication of respiratory infections caused by GAS. The M protein generates antibodies that cross react with autoantigens on interstitial connective tissue, in particular of the endocardium and synovium, that can lead to significant clinical illness. Although common in developing countries, ARF is rare in the United States, possibly secondary to improved antibiotic treatment, with small isolated outbreaks rep ... more details

- Heart development
The heart is the first functional organ in a vertebrate embryo. There are 5 stages to heart development. Specification of cardiac precursor cells Image Gray19.png center 450px frame The lateral plate mesoderm delaminates to form two layers the dorsal somatic parietal mesoderm and the ventral splanchnic visceral mesoderm. The heart precursor cells come from the two regions of the splanchnic mesoderm called the cardiogenic mesoderm . These cells can differentiate into endocardium which lines the heart chamber and valves and the myocardium which forms the musculature of the ventricles and the atria. The heart cells are specified in anterior mesoderm by proteins such as Dickkopf 1, Nodal, and Cerberus secreted by the anterior endoderm. Whether Dickkopf 1 and Nodal act directly on the cardiac mesoderm is the subject of research, but it seems that at least they act indirectly by stimulating the production of additional factors from the anterior endoderm. These early signals are essential for heart formation such that removal of the anterior endoderm blocks heart formation. Anterior endoderm is also sufficient to stimulate heart differientation since it can induce non cardiogenic mesoderm from more posterior positions in the embryo to form heart. The secretion of Wnt inhibitors such as Cerberus, Dickkopf and Crescent by the anterior endoderm also prevents Wnt3a and Wnt8 secreted by the neural tube from inhibiting heart formation. The notochord secretes BMP antagonists Chordin and Noggin to prevent formation of cardiac mesoderm in inappropriate places. Other cardiogenic signals such as BMP and FGF activate the expression of cardiac specific transcription factors such as homeodomain protein Nkx2.5 . Nkx2.5 activates a number of downstream transcription factors such as MEF2 and GATA which activate the expression of cardiac muscle specific proteins. Mutations in Nkx2.5 result in heart development defects and congenital heart malformations. Migration of cardiac precursor cells ... more details
