Abstract excerpt
Forty-two isolates of group A streptococcus from patients with invasive and non-invasive diseases in western Norway, belonging to the emm sequence types emml, emm3, emm6, emm22, emm28, emm75 and emm78 were screened by PCR for the phage-mediated hyaluronidase genes hylP and hylP2. The amplified genes were characterized by nucleotide sequencing and/or by PCR-RFLP, with the objective of looking for possible...
