Characterization of Group A streptococci causing invasive diseases in Sri Lanka

2024-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Group A, β haemolytic streptococci (GAS) or Streptococcus pyogenes is a human pathogen that causes an array of infections including pharyngitis, cellulitis, impetigo, scarlet fever, toxic shock syndrome, and necrotizing fasciitis. The present study characterizes 51 GAS isolates from invasive infections in Sri Lanka, focusing on resistance profiles, genetic determinants of resistance, and virulence markers. Isolate...
