Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a genetically diverse human pathogen (having > 220 serotypes/M types as of 6/15/2015) that commonly causes superficial infections of the throat (pharyngitis/strep-throat) and skin (impetigo). Less commonly GAS also causes fulminant invasive infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease) and necrotizing pneumonia, that have high attendant morbidity and mortality. Serotype M89 strains are a prevalent cause of GAS pharyngeal and invasive infections. The whole genome sequence of strain MGAS23530, a pharyngeal infection isolate, was undertaken to gain insight in the genetic basis of GAS serotype M89 pathogenesis.pathogen:bacteriumpathogenENAbacteriastrain, Streptococcus scarlatinae, Micrococcus scarlatinae, Flesh-Eating Bacteria, Flesh-Eating, Streptococcus Group A, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Strain, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Sprain, cultivar, Strains, whole genome, Bacteria, Streptococcus erysipelatos, Sprains, Strains and Sprains, ecotype, Genomes.strain, Streptococcus scarlatinae, Micrococcus scarlatinae, Flesh-Eating Bacteria, Flesh-Eating, Streptococcus Group A, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Sprain, Strain., cultivar, Strains, Bacteria, Streptococcus erysipelatos, Sprains, Strains and Sprains, ecotypefalseStreptococcus pyogenes strain:MGAS23530Streptococcus pyogenes strain:MGAS23530 Genome sequencing and assembly2025-09-242015-06-17PRJNA2870281314
