Group A streptococcus (GAS) is responsible for approximately 700 million cases of localised infection and 600,000 cases of invasive infection globally each year. Certain bacteria have been shown to recognise sugars (known as glycans) on host cells. This project will look at how GAS use sugars at the surface of host cells to initiate disease, and determine if differences in the types of sugars present on host cells alter the ability of GAS to initiate infection.

A 族链球菌 (GAS) 每年在全球造成约 7 亿例局部感染和 60 万例侵袭性感染。某些细菌已被证明可以识别宿主细胞上的糖（称为聚糖）。该项目将研究 GAS 如何利用宿主细胞表面的糖来引发疾病，并确定宿主细胞上存在的糖类型的差异是否会改变 GAS 引发感染的能力。
