Group a Streptococcus remains viable inside fibrin clots and gains access to human plasminogen for subsequent fibrinolysis and dissemination by Henry M. Vu, Thomas E. Moran, Zhong Liang, Yun-Juan Bao, Paulina G. Carles, Jessica C. Keane, Madelyn G. Cerney, Caitlyn N. Dahnke, Ana L. Flores-Mireles, Victoria A. Ploplis, Francis J. Castellino, Shaun W. Lee

“…A major unresolved question regards the temporal dynamics of how GAS enmeshed in a fibrin clot can access plasminogen for clot dissolution and eventual dissemination. Here, we reveal through live imaging studies that GAS trapped inside a fibrin clot can remain viable in a latent state, until access to plasminogen activates fibrinolysis and dissemination. …”
