Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is closely related to Streptococcus pyogenes, with overlapping disease manifestations. We compared the clinical and genomic epidemiology of invasive SDSE with invasive S pyogenes across different settings in Australia and phylogenetically contextualised the SDSE sequences within a global cohort of genomes. METHODS: In this retrospective clinical...
