Expression of various virulence genes in S. pyogenes after treated with AH (A), EGCG (B) and AH and EGCG mixture (C) at sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels compared with control group. Gene expression was quantified by RT-qPCR with 16S ribosomal RNA as the internal control. Data are expressed as mean SD. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. speB, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins B; hasA, hyaluronan synthase; luxS, S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase
