Epidemiologic typing of (GAS) is frequently based on the genotype of the gene, which encodes M/Emm protein. In this study, the complete genome sequence of GAS strain M3-b, isolated from a patient with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), was determined. This strain exhibited 99% identity with other complete genome sequences of strains MGAS315, SSI-1, and STAB902. The complete genomes of five additional strains isolated from Japanese patients with and without STSS were also sequences. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that strains M3-b, M3-e, and SSI-1, all which were isolated from STSS patients, were relatively close.
A群链球菌(GAS)的流行病学分型通常基于编码M/Emm蛋白的emm基因的基因型。在本研究中,测定了从一名链球菌中毒性休克综合征(STSS)患者分离出的GAS菌株M3-b的全基因组序列。该菌株与其他A群链球菌菌株MGAS315、SSI-1和STAB902的全基因组序列具有99%的同一性。还对从患有和未患有STSS的日本患者中分离出的另外五株菌株的全基因组进行了测序。最大似然系统发育分析表明,均从STSS患者中分离出的菌株M3-b、M3-e和SSI-1相对接近。
