Recurrent bacteremia with different strains of Streptococcus pyogenes in an immunocompromised child

Abstract We report an immunocompromised child who experienced two episodes of bacteremia due to Streptococcus pyogenes . Random amplification of polymorphic DNA profiles, emm genotypes, superantigen profiles, antimicrobial susceptibility, and resistance-related genes were investigated, and the resul...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract We report an immunocompromised child who experienced two episodes of bacteremia due to Streptococcus pyogenes . Random amplification of polymorphic DNA profiles, emm genotypes, superantigen profiles, antimicrobial susceptibility, and resistance-related genes were investigated, and the results showed different profiles between the two isolates. This is the first report describing recurrent bacteremia caused by different strains of S. pyogenes.
