Abstract excerpt
STREPTOCOCCUS DYSGALACTIAE SUBSP: equisimilis (SDSE) is an emerging pathogen with similarities to S. pyogenes, with limited Indian molecular epidemiological data. This study characterized 55 SDSE isolates via MALDI-TOF and whole genome sequencing for emm typing, MLST, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance profiling. Infections mainly affected diabetic males (mean age 44), commonly presenting as cellulitis or...
