Many European countries have recently reported upsurges in invasive group A (iGAS) infections, mainly caused by 1 , specifically the toxigenic M1 lineage. We present the epidemiology of 1 causing iGAS in Belgium during 2018-August 2023, and describe an emergence of the toxigenic M1 lineage in Belgium in mid-2022 that was observed as an increase in bloodstream infections caused by 1 that continued into 2023.
最近,许多欧洲国家报告侵袭性 A 组链球菌(iGAS)感染病例激增,主要由 1 型菌株引起,特别是产毒株 M1 谱系。我们介绍了 2018 年 8 月至 2023 年期间 1 型菌株引起 iGAS 在比利时的流行情况,并描述了 2022 年中旬比利时产毒株 M1 谱系的出现,这种情况表现为由 1 型菌株引起的血流感染增加,并持续到 2023 年。
