emm18.17 (emm-cluster clade Y) 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. emm18.17 from upper respiratory isolate 1RP268(multilocus sequence type ST42) recovered during 1963 in New York. From Lancefield collection.
