Molecular characterization and antimicrobial resistance of group A streptococcus isolates in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome cases in Japan from 2013 to 2018
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a severe invasive infection characterized by the sudden onset of shock, multi-organ failure, and puerperal sepsis and shows high mortality. Its primary cause is group A streptococcus (GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes). In this study, we genotyped the cell-surf...
