Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The clinical manifestations of group A streptococcus (GAS) (Streptococcus pyogenes) are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic colonization to devastating invasive disease. Maternity-related clusters of invasive GAS (iGAS) infection are complex to investigate and control, especially if recurrent. AIM: To investigate three episodes of emm 75 GAS/iGAS infection in maternity patients at one hospital site...
