Abstract

Here, we announce the complete sequence of Streptococcus pyogenes A20. This strain was isolated from a patient with necrotizing fasciitis. Given that A20 harbors an intact two-component system, CovRS, the discovery of its genome sequence provides more insight into the pathogenesis of a pandemic emm1 strain.
