Abstract Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes multiple clinical manifestations, including invasive (iGAS) or even life-threatening (severe-iGAS) infections. After the drop in cases during COVID-19 pandemic, in 2022 a sharp increase of GAS was reported globally. GAS strains collected in 09/2022-03/2023 in two university hospitals in Milan, Italy were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical/epidemiological data were combined with whole-genome sequencing to: (i) define resistome/virulome, (ii) identify putative transmission chains, (iii) explore associations between types and clinical severity. Twenty-eight isolates were available, 19/28 (67.9%) from adults and 9/28 (32.1%) from pediatric population. The criteria for iGAS were met by 19/28 cases (67.9%), of which 11/19 (39.3%) met the further criteria for severe-iGAS. Pediatric cases were mainly non-invasive infections (8/9, 88.9%), adult cases were iGAS and severe-iGAS in 18/19 (94.7%) and 10/19 (52.6%), respectively. Thirteen -types were detected, the most prevalent being 1 and 12 (6/28 strains each, 21.4%). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of 1.0 and 12.0 strains revealed pairwise SNP distance always >10, inconsistent with unique transmission chains. 12.0-type, found to almost exclusively carry virulence factors H and I, was mainly detected in children and in no-iGAS infections (55.6 vs. 5.3%, = 0.007 and 66.7 vs. 0.0%, < 0.001, respectively), while 1.0-type was mainly detected in severe-iGAS (0.0 vs. 45.5%, = 0.045). This study showed that multiple -types contributed to a 2022/2023 GAS infection increase in two hospitals in Milan, with no evidence of direct transmission chains. Specific -types could be associated with disease severity or invasiveness. Overall, these results support the integration of classical epidemiological studies with genomic investigation to appropriately manage severe infections and improve surveillance.
