Extracellular bacterial lymphatic metastasis drives Streptococcus pyogenes systemic infection
Pathogenic agents can spread from an initial to a secondary site via the lymphatics. Here, using a mouse model of infection, the authors show that S. pyogenes readily transit through sequential lymph nodes within efferent lymphatics to reach the bloodstream and drive systemic infection, while remain...
