Evidence for early circulation of the M1UK sublineage of Streptococcus pyogenes in Germany, 2015–2023
Our findings confirm the pre-pandemic circulation of M1<sub>UK</sub> in Germany. While the clinical impact of M1<sub>UK</sub> remains unclear, integrating clinical data with high-resolution molecular surveillance may improve early detection of emerging high-risk clones.
