ABSTRACT Comparisons of the 1.84-Mb genome of serotype M5 Streptococcus pyogenes
strain Manfredo with previously sequenced genomes emphasized the role of prophages in
diversification of S. pyogenes and the close relationship between strain Manfredo and
MGAS8232, another acute rheumatic fever-associated strain.
