Draft genome sequence of emm 103/ST1363 Streptococcus pyogenes strain AB1, isolated from the blood of a woman with peritonitis and toxic shock syndrome.

We report the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus pyogenes strain AB1 isolated from the blood of a woman with peritonitis-toxic shock syndrome. The genome measured 1.855 Mbp, with a G + C content of 38.3%. Sequences unmapped to the reference genome sequence of M1 SF370 (GenBank accession number AE004092.2) were characterized.
