Characterization of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates responsible for adult meningitis in France from 2003 to 2013.

Abstract:

:Sixty-three cases of Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis in adults were studied. Three predominant emm types were associated with meningitis: emm1 (44%), emm3 (11%), and emm6 (11%). Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and mortality rates were 40% and 38%, respectively.
