The role of coagulation/fibrinolysis during Streptococcus pyogenes infection.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the knowledge gained during the last two decades on the role of coagulation/fibrinolysis in host defense against S. pyogenes as well as the strategies developed by this pathogen to evade and exploit these host mechanisms for its own benefit.
