<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> During a 6-month period, 95 invasive infections due to <jats:italic>Streptococcus pyogenes</jats:italic> and group C or group G <jats:italic>Streptococcus dysgalactiae</jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>equisimilis</jats:italic> were recorded from 40 centers of 16 cities in Argentina. We describe here epidemiologic data available for 55 and 19 patients, respectively, associated with invasive infections due to <jats:italic>S. pyogenes</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>S. dysgalactiae</jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>equisimilis</jats:italic> . The associated isolates and 58 additional pharyngeal isolates were genotyped and subjected to serologic and/or antibiotic susceptibility testing. Group A streptococcal <jats:italic>emm</jats:italic> type distribution and strain association with toxic shock appeared to differ somewhat from results found within the United States; however, serologic characterization and <jats:italic>sof</jats:italic> sequence typing suggested that <jats:italic>emm</jats:italic> types found in both countries are reflective of shared clonal types. </jats:p>
