Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Resistance to macrolide antibiotics is a global concern in the treatment of Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) infections. In Iceland, since the detection of the first macrolide-resistant isolate in 1998, three epidemic waves of macrolide-resistant GAS infections have occurred with peaks in 1999, 2004, and 2008. We conducted whole genome sequencing of all 1,575 available GAS ma...
