The article presents data on the structure of invasive fatal infections caused by different types of streptococci. The incidence of invasive streptococcal infections among men of working age is 1.6 times higher than among women (63.3% and 36.6%, respectively). Pathogenic S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, S. agalactiae - 71.7%) and opportunistic streptococci (groups D, groups "anginosus": S. gallolyticus, S. anginosus, S. constellatus and others-28.3%) participated in the development of invasive streptococcal infections with fatal outcome. The etiological structure of invasive streptococcal infections in children was represented by S. agalactiae (48.1%), S. pneumoniae (11.1%), S. gallolyticus (7.4%), S. pyogenes (3.7%), etc.
