Abstract excerpt
Variation of sclB gene sequences in group A Streptococcus (GAS) strains was evaluated for its potential use in subtyping the most common serotypes of Streptococcus pyogenes encountered in the UK. We sequenced a total of 188 strains, including randomly selected invasive GAS and outbreak-related strains. Variability was highest amongst M/emm 89 strains, whereas very little variation was observed amongst M/emm 1 and...
