Invasive group A streptococci infections are increasing worldwide, mainly due to the emm1 lineage M1 UK emergence. Although this variant has recently been described in adult Italian patients, its circulation in children has not yet been established. Characterizing by whole genome sequencing 6 invasive group A streptococci strains isolated between 2022 and 2023, we highlighted M1 UK lineage circulation in pediatric patients in Italy.
侵袭性A组链球菌感染在全球范围内呈上升趋势,主要原因是emm1谱系M1英国株的出现。尽管这种变体最近在成年意大利患者中已有描述,但其在儿童中的传播情况尚未明确。通过对2022年至2023年间分离出的6株侵袭性A组链球菌菌株进行全基因组测序分析,我们发现M1英国谱系在意大利儿科患者中存在传播。
