Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pyogenes has a variety of virulence factors and the predominant invasive strains differ according to specific emm types and geographical orientation. Although emm typing is commonly used as the gold standard method for the molecular characterisation, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) has become an important tool for comparing the genetic profiles globally. This study aimed to screen...
