Abstract excerpt
With the objective of finding genetic markers of invasiveness, 43 isolates of group A streptococcus, isolated in western Norway and from both severe invasive disease and superficial infections, were studied initially by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the virulence regulon (virR -RFLP). Polymorphism that seemed to be related to the severity of infection was observed within the emm1 sequence type,...
