The hyper-virulent emm59 genotype of invasive group A Streptococcus was identified in northern Arizona in 2015. Eighteen isolates belonging to a genomic cluster grouped most closely with recently identified isolates in New Mexico. The continued transmission of emm59 in the southwestern United States poses a public health concern.
2015年,在亚利桑那州北部发现了侵袭性A组链球菌的高毒力emm59基因型。18株分离株属于一个基因组簇,与新墨西哥州最近发现的分离株关系最为密切。emm59在美国西南部的持续传播引发了公共卫生问题。
