Increase in invasive group A streptococcal infections in Milan, Italy: a genomic and clinical characterization

| 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. |
