Changes in emm types and superantigen gene content of Streptococcus pyogenes causing invasive infections in Portugal
2 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Fluctuations in the clonal composition of Group AStreptococcus(GAS) have been associated with the emergence of successful lineages and with upsurges of invasive infections (iGAS). This study aimed at identifying changes in the clones causing iGAS in Portugal. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing,emmtyping and superantigen (SAg) gene profiling were performed for 381 iGAS isolates from 2010–2015. Macrolide...
