Cryptic prophages within a <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> genotype <i>emm</i> 4 lineage

2020-05-19

Abstract excerpt

The major human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes shares an intimate evolutionary history with mobile genetic elements, which in many cases, carry genes encoding bacterial virulence factors. During recent whole genome sequencing of a longitudinal sample of S. pyogenes isolates in the United Kingdom, we identified a lineage within emm 4 that clustered with the reference genome MEW427. Like MEW427, this lineage was...
