Abstract
In this study an occurrence of bacteriophage genes among S. pyogenes strains of M49 serotype was studied by two methods, PCR and DNA-DNA hybridization. It was found, that the presence of the phage genes and/or prophages was associated with geographic region of the strain isolation. Potential correlation between the presence of the phage integrase genes and the genes encoding virulence factors was revealed.
