emm1-2.3 subtype determining sequence. Identity to bases 31-180 (encodes mature N-terminus) and ungapped identity or near-identity to complete 180 base sequence defines this subtype. emm1-2.3 from isolate MSHR26 recovered from skin of a child in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1988. Nearly identical in overlap to GenBank accession Z21845 described by P.P Cleary and coworkers as emm1.1 in 1993. While I apologize for this re-designation, this sequence and other emm1-2 derivatives in this database are not emm1 derivatives based upon my subtyping scheme (see . . . emm1-2.3.sds Length: 180 August 2, 2007 12:58 Type: N Check: 4765 .. 1 GCAGGTTTTA CGAATCAAAC AGAGGTTAAG GCTAACAATG ATGGTAGGTC 51 TAGGGACGTT ACGGAAGAGA TTGCAGCAAA CAATACCACA GTACAAAATA 101 TACGTTTACG TAACGAAAAC AAGAACTTAA AAGCGAGATT AGAGAATGCA 151 ATGAATGTTG CAGGAAGAGA TTTTAAGAGA
