The bacterium responsible for #scarletFever was not introduced to the Americas by Europeans.
A research team led by Eurac Research has identified the #Streptococcus pyogenes bacterium in a pre-Columbian Bolivian mummy and, for the first time, reconstructed the genome of this centuries-old pathogen.

What is erysipelas?

Erysipelas is an acute inflammation of all layers of the skin caused by hemolytic streptococcus, which penetrates the skin through microtraumas. How does hemolytic streptococcus penetrate the skin during erysipelas? Through microtrauma.

Vert nasty strep infection from contact with raw fish in Hong Kong.

"Seven men and six women, aged between 35 and 94, had the ST283 infection, it said, adding that they mainly suffered from sepsis and joint abscesses."

#HK CHP updates on latest #situation of invasive Group B #Streptococcus #infection https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202409/16/P2024091600596.htm

Since announcement of situation of B Streptococcus infection belonged to st III sequence type 283 (ST283) on Sept 13 CHP has today confirmed 13 additional ST283 cases involving patients recently admitted with invasive Group B Streptococcus infection. Patients mainly presented with #sepsis (eight patients) and joint abscess (five patients).

Drug-resistant infection - The agricultural sector has escaped scrutiny

"The issue of untreatable infections is no longer an abstract notion; it is now a reality."

"The Joint Expert Advisory Committee on Antibiotic Resistance (JETACAR) said "the transfer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria along the meat chain is believed to be one of the most significant sources of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals", and the scientific consensus since then has only hardened."

"For decades, the meat industry used the drugs with relative abandon. The majority of this use had been not to treat sick animals, but as a key ingredient in animal feed to promote rapid growth and act as a prophylactic."

"JETACAR revealed two-thirds of Australia's antibiotics were being used in animals, and most of that for "subtherapeutic doses" to increase growth, prevent disease and "reduce feed requirements"."

"It was only a few weeks ago, three years into the new strategy, that the Department of Health finally awarded a $438,000 contract to big-four consultancy KPMG for the design of the surveillance system."

Spike in deadly strep infections linked to wave of #flu, #RSV in US kids

Group A strep is known to piggyback on viral infections.

Health officials in #Colorado and #Minnesota documented an unusual spike in deadly, invasive infections from #Streptococcus bacteria late last year, according to a study published this week by the #CDC.

The spike is yet another oddity of post-pandemic disease transmission, but one that points to a simple prevention strategy: flu shots.

A one-year-old boy in NSW has had to have limbs amputated as a result of a devastating illness spreading in Australia.

Cases of Strep A, also known as group A Streptococcus, have doubled in Western Australia in the past 3 months and Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have all seen a spike in cases too.
