Genomic Surveillance of Streptococcus pyogenes Strains Causing Invasive Disease, United States, 2016–2017
24 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background Streptococcus pyogenes is a major cause of severe, invasive infections in humans. The bacterial pathogen harbors a wide array of virulence factors and exhibits high genomic diversity. Rapid changes of circulating strains in a community are common. Understanding the current prevalence and dynamics of S. pyogenes lineages could inform vaccine development and disease control strategies. Methods We used...
