Title: Complete Genome Sequences of Streptococcus pyogenes Serotype M3, M28, and M89 Strains Isolated from Human Patients in Japan, 1994 to 2009
Abstract: Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) is a major human pathogen that occasionally causes severe and life-threatening invasive diseases. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of four GAS strains of three M types, which were isolated from patients with severe invasive disease in Japan.
