Genomic epidemiology of invasive Group A Streptococcus infections in Argentina, 2023: high prevalence of emm1-global and detection of emm1 hypervirulent lineages

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to describe the genomic epidemiology of invasive Group A Streptococcus (iGAS) in Argentina during 2023. A total of 476 invasive GAS isolates were subtyped and analyzed by whole-genome sequencing. A high prevalence of the emm1-type strain was observed. Among the emm1...
