Genome sequence analysis of emm89 Streptococcus pyogenes strains causing infections in Scotland, 2010–2016
3 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Strains of type emm89 Streptococcus pyogenes have recently increased in frequency as a cause of human infections in several countries in Europe and North America. This increase has been molecular epidemiologically linked with the emergence of a new genetically distinct clone, designated clade 3. We sought to extend our understanding of this epidemic behavior by the genetic characterization of type emm89...
