Genetic relatedness of Streptococcus dysgalactiae isolates causing recurrent bacteraemia.

Conclusions. Our results show that the paired isolates were of the same clonal origin, which in turn supports carriage between bacteraemia episodes. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that horizontal gene transfer of the emm-gene between some of the SDSE isolates has occurred.
