Similar environmental survival patterns of Streptococcus pyogenes strains of different epidemiologic backgrounds and clinical severity	2004-12-14		.txt	text/plain	981	49	53	title: Similar environmental survival patterns of Streptococcus pyogenes strains of different epidemiologic backgrounds and clinical severity S. pyogenes strains 2, 6 and 8 were isolated from different patients during a hospital outbreak reported previously by Davies et al. It can be seen that from an initial measurement of approximately 10 8 cfu the strains died off rapidly, with the decline ranging from 4 to 7-log 10 cfu during the 14-day dry-out period to counts between 20 and 9,000 cfu. pyogenes strains tested-even our own outbreak strain that had demonstrated MRSAlike spread [4] -contrasts sharply with the prolonged survival of around a year reported previously for epidemic MRSA strains [7] . pyogenes strains in the hospital environment is shorter than the period of 3 months reported by Lidwell and Lowbury [8] , it should be noted that their study measured survival in dust.	./cache/cord-335671-j3wrtsxj.txt	./txt/cord-335671-j3wrtsxj.txt
