Molecular Study of spy1258 and smeZ genes in Group A Streptococcal Tonsillitis

Streptococcus pyogenes was the most common bacterial causes of tonsillitis. The detection of virulence factors of this pathogen can be used to determine pathogenic potential as a rapid screening method. A total of 109 isolates (46%) showed positive culture for S. pyogenes, these isolates recovered f...
