Great collaboration between Imperial Department of Infectious Disease and @PHE_uk to investigate unprecedented surge in #scarletfever. Not only is "Strep A M1uk" lineage more toxigenic but may explain the rise in invasive disease. Privileged to have taken part but more testing and surveillance needed!

Exciting inaugural #UKGAS2019 meeting today London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Supported by the Medical Research Council and others. Key opportunity to bring together UK investigators to tackle global public health challenge of group A strep #GAS including #RHD. Delighted to have Lee Spark Foundation joining.

Honoured to be giving the @biainfection Barnett Christie Lecture this morning at #FIS2019. Wonderful opportunity to talk about the global public health importance of group A strep and #RHD, and some of the work colleagues and I have done to better understand these diseases.
