Abstract
Japan recently experienced a record surge in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Our environmental surveillance study reveals that Streptococcus pyogenes persists seasonally, peaking in autumn and winter in rural Japan. The dominant emm1 M1<inf>UK</inf> sublineage and csrS mutations heighten virulence, highlighting the urgent need for targeted surveillance and interventions.
