Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) causes invasive streptococcal infections, including streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), as does Lancefield group A Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS). We sequenced the entire genome of SDSE strain GGS_124 isolated from a patient with STSS. RESULTS: We found that GGS_124 consisted of a circular genome of 2,106,340 bp. Comparative analyses among...
