Streptococci from children in Nepal share genetic relatedness with isolates from other countries
August 18th, 2006
Genetically diverse group A streptococci from children in far western Nepal share high genetic relatedness with isolates from other countries. According to a study from the United States, "The genetic diversity of group A streptococci (GAS) throughout much of the world has not been adequately explored." "To assess genetic variation among GAS in western Nepal, 120 noninvasive GAS, collected from eight different villages, were genetically characterized using emm typing, sof sequencing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A high level of genetic diversity was observed among these isolates, with 51 genotypes based upon 51 multilocus sequence types...
