Molecular epidemiology of invasive Group A Streptococcal infections before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland

2024-04-03

Abstract excerpt

Group A Streptococcus (GAS, aka Streptococcus pyogenes ) poses a significant public health concern, causing a diverse spectrum of infections with high mortality rates. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a resurgence of invasive GAS (iGAS) infections has been documented, necessitating efficient outbreak detection methods. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) serves as the gold standard for GAS molecular typing, albeit const...
