Remarkable genome stability among emm1 group A streptococcus in Belgium over 19 years
Abstract: During the last two decades, there has been a public health concern of severe invasive infections caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS) of the emm1 genotype. This study investigated the dynamics of emm1 GAS during 1994-2013 in Belgium. emm1 GAS isolated from blood, tissue, and wounds of patients with invasive infections (n=23, S1-S23), and from patients with uncomplicated pharyngitis (n=15, NS1-NS15) were subjected to whole-genome mapping (WGM; kpn) (Opgen). Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 25 strains (WGS; S1-S23 and NS6-NS7) (Illumina Inc.). Belgian GAS belonged to the M1T1... Mehr ...
