Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Many European countries have recently reported upsurges in invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infections, mainly caused by emm 1 Streptococcus pyogenes , specifically the toxigenic M1 UK lineage. We present the epidemiology of emm 1 causing iGAS in Belgium during 2018–August 2023, and describe an emergence of the toxigenic M1 UK lineage in Belgium in mid-2022 that was observed as an increase in bloodstream infections caused by emm 1 S. pyogenes that continued into 2023. |
