emm165.0 (emm-cluster E1) (formerly st11014.0) 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. emm165.0 from isolate 6102-99 (T14/25, OF+) provided by Drs. C.-S Chiou and S. -W. Lin who recovered isolate in Taiwan. THis strain has a sof gene nearly identical over its first 300 codons to sof from major clone representing emm94. This sequence is consistent with GenBank accession AF089737 from these contributors. emm165.0.sds Length: 180 August 6, 2007 14:43 Type: N Check: 4696 .. 1 GGCTTTGCAA ACCAAACAGA AGTTAAGGCG GAGTCATCAA TCTCTAATGT 51 TAATACGTCT TCTAACGGGA AATTAATAAC AGAATATAAC AAGTTGGTTG 101 AGGAAAACAG TAAATTGCAA AAACAACTTG AAGAATACCT AGATTCAAGT 151 GACTCTAAAA GAGAAAATGA TCCTCAATAC
