title: Draft genome sequences of two Streptococcus pyogenes strains involved in abnormal sharp raised scarlet fever in China, 2011.
abstract: A scarlet fever outbreak caused by Streptococcus pyogenes occurred in China in 2011. To determine the genomic features of the outbreak strains, we deciphered genomes of two strains isolated from the regions with the highest incidence rates. The sequences will provide valuable information for comprehensive study of mechanisms related to this outbreak.
