Figure 1

Incidence of emm types and clusters among 2,947 iGAS cases in Israel during 2014–2019 and potential vaccine coverage. A) Ten most common emm types, by incidence per 100,000 population for each year. Each color bar section represents 1 of the top 10 emm types; gray bar sections represent all other emm types. Dashed line represents the percentage of top 10 emm types from total cases each year. B) Ten most common emm clusters, by incidence per 100,000 population for each year. All emm types were assigned to emm clusters. Each color bar section represents a top 10 emm cluster; gray bar sections represent other emm clusters. Dashed line represents the percentage of potential coverage of 26-valent vaccine for each year; dotted line represents the percentage of potential coverage of 30-valent vaccine for each year. iGAS, invasive group A Streptococcus.
