ABSTRACT: Prevalence and genomic characterization of Group A Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis isolated from patients with invasive infection in Toyama Prefecture, Japan
Project description:Group C Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae (GCS) field strains causative of bovine mastitis and group C or group G Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (GCS/GGS) isolates from human infections were tested for the presence of virulence genes employing a microarray containing 220 virulence genes of S. pyogenes (GAS).
