Genetic correlates of throat and skin isolates of group A streptococci.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Apr 1996

Bessen D E, Sotir C M, Readdy T L, Hollingshead S K

Abstract excerpt

The existence of discrete populations of throat and skin strains of group A streptococci has long been recognized; however, a molecular basis for this distinction is not known. The emm gene structure was analyzed for 105 isolates obtained from patients with well-defined group A streptococcal diseases: uncomplicated pharyngitis, impetigo, and acute rheumatic fever. Four emm gene sub-family forms, defined by...
