Streptococcus dysgalactiae as a cause of peripartum infections - a population-based cohort study with phylogenetic analysis of hospital clusters
Our findings demonstrate that SDPI impact a relatively large number of patients. No patient was critically ill, but the morbidity appeared to be substantial. Hospital outbreaks of SDPI are rare, but when suspected, WGS should be employed to investigate relatedness between isolates.
