Whole genome sequencing in the investigation of recurrent invasive Group A streptococcus outbreaks in a maternity unit

Background: The clinical manifestations of Group A streptococcus (GAS) – (Streptococcus pyogenes) are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic colonisation to devastating invasive disease. Maternity related clusters of invasive Group A streptococcus (iGAS) infection are complex to investigate and control...
