Superantigen gene profile diversity among clinical group A streptococcal isolates.

FEMS immunology and medical microbiology - 1 Nov 2008

Maripuu Linda, Eriksson Anna, Norgren Mari

Abstract excerpt

This study examines the diversity of superantigen gene profiles between and within emm-genotypes of 92 clinical group A streptococcal isolates (30 STSS, 24 sepsis, 25 erysipelas, and 12 tonsillitis) collected in Sweden between 1986 and 2001. The emm-genotype and the distribution of smeZ, speG, speJ, speA, speC, speH, speI, speK/L, speL/M, speM, and ssa genes, and the smeZ allelic variant were determined using PCR...
