Distribution of emm1 invasive group A Streptococcus and bloodstream infections caused by the M1UK lineage, Belgium, January 2018–August 2023
BSI: bloodstream infections; iGAS: invasive group A Streptococcus; S. pyogenes: Streptococcus pyogenes.
a This dataset is limited to the emm1 iGAS that underwent whole genome sequencing (n = 149).
b The BSI dataset used to depict M1UK lineage increase is limited to the emm1 S. pyogenes isolated from BSIs during January 2020–May 2023 that underwent whole genome sequencing (n = 109).
