emm1.44 (emm cluster A-C3) 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.

emm1.44 from invasive GAS isolate 3514-08(T1) recovered during 2007
in the U.S. One of the rare emm1 subtypes with a silent substitution
within the type-specific region compared to emm1.0.
