Genomic epidemiology of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis strains causing invasive disease in Norway during 2018

BackgroundStreptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is an emerging global pathogen, yet the epidemiology and population genetics of SDSE species have not been extensively characterized.MethodsWe carried out whole genome sequencing to characterize 274 SDSE isolates causing bloodstream...
