Abstract
An increase in incidence rates of invasive (iGAS) and non-invasive (nGAS) group A Streptococcus infection has been reported by several countries across Europe during the 2022/23 winter season [1-3]. Through analysis of all whole genome sequencing (WGS) data acquired for national surveillance of iGAS in Denmark since 2018, we aimed to investigate current genomic developments and the impact of emerging lineages on iGAS incidence rates in 2023. In Denmark, iGAS is not notifiable except in case of meningitis, however, test results from all 10 Departments of Clinical Microbiology (DCMs) are submitted to the Danish Microbiology Database (MiBa) [4] and can be used to monitor incidence rates. Iceland also experienced a higher iGAS incidence in early 2023, and we also present Icelandic WGS data on iGAS isolates from 2022 and 2023.
