Abstract

Recently, invasive infections with the human pathogen Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspeciesequisimilis (SDSE) have increased around the globe. Typing of the emm gene of SDSE, which encodes a virulence factor (M protein), has provided important information. Here, we report two cases of invasive SDSE infection that presented with endocarditis and bacteremia, and their emm gene types.
