Abstract
Group A Streptococcus emm type 1-2 is more prevalent than emm type 1 in India. Only partial information is available about the genetic characteristics of this type. Here, genome sequencing of emm type 1-2 strain 1085 (from blood) was conducted. A contig 2,010,300 bp long, with a total of 1,877 annotated proteins, was obtained (NCBI accession number CP047120, assembly accession number ASM983284v1).

Group A Streptococcus emm type 1-2 is more prevalent than emm type 1 in India
Our study was approved by the Institute Ethics Committee (IEC) of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, India (INT/IEC/2018/ 000760)
The emm1-2 strain (1085) was isolated from a blood sample of a patient suffering from septicemia who was hospitalized at PGIMER [3, 8]
Summary
Group A Streptococcus emm type 1-2 is more prevalent than emm type 1 in India. Only partial information is available about the genetic characteristics of this type. Our study was approved by the Institute Ethics Committee (IEC) of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, India (INT/IEC/2018/ 000760). The strain was isolated using a blood culturing technique as per the standardized protocol. For genomic DNA isolation, Todd-Hewitt broth with 0.2% yeast extract was used.
