While the importance of monitoring the clinical and molecular epidemiology of non-invasive GAS is increasingly recognized, most surveillance focuses on invasive infections, since culture is rarely performed in tonsillo-pharyngitis. We determined the antimicrobial susceptibility and characterized the macrolide-resistant lineages of 2,002 pharyngeal isolates recovered in a Portuguese hospital in 2014-2019. There were seasonal variations in the numbers of recovered isolates, with peaks shifting between March-July and October-December, but consistently low numbers in August and September. Macrolide-resistant and macrolide-susceptible GAS presented independent seasonal and clonal dynamics, with resistant isolates showing lower genetic diversity and minimal overlap with susceptible lineages. Overall, 84 (4%), 77 (4%), and 52 (3%) isolates were resistant to erythromycin, clindamycin, and tetracycline, respectively. Until 2018, macrolide resistance was mainly due to an internationally disseminated <i>emm</i>77-ST63 lineage carrying <i>erm</i>(A) and <i>tet</i>(O) in ICE<i>Sp2905</i> and an <i>emm</i>75-ST49 lineage carrying <i>mef</i>(A)-<i>msr</i>(D) in a novel ɸ1207.3 variant. In 2019, resistance peaked at 9% due to the rapid expansion of <i>mef</i>(A)-<i>msr</i>(D)-positive <i>emm</i>2-ST55 isolates, replacing previous lineages. Other minor resistant lineages carried mostly <i>erm</i>(B) in a diversity of mobile genetic elements, including <i>emm</i>75-ST150, <i>emm</i>9-ST75, <i>emm</i>11-ST403, <i>emm</i>12-ST36, <i>emm</i>76-ST50, and <i>emm</i>77-ST399 [<i>erm</i>(T)]. Tetracycline resistance was associated with the genes <i>tet</i>(M) and <i>tet</i>(O), in most cases co-located in the same genetic elements as the <i>erm</i> genes.

Blood samples were collected from febrile and non-febrile children aged 3 to 59 months in Masasi and Nanyumbu Districts between 2020 and 2021. The samples were subjected to molecular analysis for markers of artemisinin, partner drugs, sulfadoxine, and pyrimethamine resistance, including <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> kelch (<i>Pfk</i>) 13 gene, <i>P. falciparum</i> chloroquine resistance transporter gene (<i>Pfcrt</i>), <i>P. falciparum</i> multidrug resistance gene (<i>Pfmdr</i>) 1, <i>P. falciparum</i> dihydrofolate reductase (<i>Pfdhfr</i>), and <i>P. falciparum</i> dihydropteroate synthase (<i>Pfdhps</i>). A total of 531 blood samples were involved in the analysis. None of the <i>P. falciparum</i> isolates analyzed for <i>Pfk13</i> carried any of the validated markers of artemisinin resistance. <i>Pfcrt</i> CVMNK wild-type haplotype occurred in 88.9% (271/305) of the parasites, and the mutant CVIET haplotype occurred only in 0.7% (2/305). Conversely, the majority of the parasites (24.2% [48/198]) were carrying <i>Pfmdr1</i> NFD haplotype, followed by the wild-type haplotype NYD (19.1% (39/198), and the rest were mixed infections.

No parasite carried any of the validated markers of artemisinin resistance; however, the prevalence of <i>Pfcrt</i> and <i>Pfmdr1</i> resistance markers against the partner drugs reached the saturation point.
