Abstract
Acute phlegmonous gastritis is an uncommon endogenous bacterial gastritis presenting with a high mortality rate. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an emm89 Streptococcus pyogenes strain, JMUB1235, which is the causative agent of acute phlegmonous gastritis.
Highlights
Acute phlegmonous gastritis is an uncommon endogenous bacterial gastritis presenting with a high mortality rate
There have been many studies of group A streptococci (GAS) genomes relevant to the ordinary infections but none on whole-genome sequencing of the GAS strain that causes Acute phlegmonous gastritis (APG)
The resulting assembly comprised 21 contigs, 10 of which were linked to a 1,733,042-bp scaffold close to the expected size of the S. pyogenes genome
Summary
Acute phlegmonous gastritis is an uncommon endogenous bacterial gastritis presenting with a high mortality rate. Acute phlegmonous gastritis (APG) is a rare and rapidly progressive endogenous bacterial infection with high mortality [1]. The most frequent causative bacteria of APG are hemolytic streptococci, group A streptococci (GAS) [2, 3]. GAS is a group of important human pathogens that causes a wide range of infections from local skin infections to life-threatening severe systemic diseases, including streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis.
