Abstract
Increasing reports of invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infections mandate surveillance for toxigenic lineage M1[SUB]UK[/SUB]. An allele-specific PCR was developed to distinguish M1[SUB]UK[/SUB] from other emm1 strains. The M1[SUB]UK[/SUB] lineage represented 91% of invasive emm1 isolates in England in 2020. Allele-specific PCR will permit surveillance for M1[SUB]UK[/SUB] without need for genome sequencing.
