Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Injecting drug users (IDU) represent an increasing proportion of patients with invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) disease. Our aims were to characterise the clinical presentation and strains causing GAS bacteremia in IDU from a single UK city (Brighton and Hove), and to compare this patient group with non-drug users (non-DU) with GAS bacteremia. METHODS: Consecutive GAS blood culture isolates from...
