Complete Genome Sequence of emm 1 Streptococcus pyogenes 10-85, a Strain Isolated from a Patient with Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome in Japan

Abstract

Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus pyogenes strain 10-85 (type emm1), isolated from a patient with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). The strain lacks the genomic regions encoding SalR-SalK, a two‐component regulatory system, and the adjacent type I restriction modification system.

Prevalence of emm1 Streptococcus pyogenes having a novel type of genomic composition

“…A S. pyogenes strain 10–85, which was isolated from a STSS patient, is one of the isolates with the above genetic features consisting of the deletion, the mef (A) possession, and the msr (D) possession . We recently announced the complete genome sequence of strain 10–85 …”
