emm18.19 (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. Upper respiratory GAS isolate 87-373 recovered in Utah, USA during 1987. Multilocus sequence type ST42. Sequence and information provided by Dr. Debra Bessen, information provided by Dr. Debra Bessen, New York College of Medicine. Note: This subtype is identical to corresponding sequence from genome sequence strain MGAS8232 (see GenBank accession AE0111.1). emm18.19.sds Length: 180 March 7, 2007 13:26 Type: N Check: 1703 .. 1 TTAGCGGTTA ACCAAACAGA AGTTAGCGCA GCACCTCTTA CTCGAGCTAC 51 AGCAGACAAT AAAGACGAAT TAATAAAAAG AGCTAACGGT TATGAGATAC 101 AGAACCATCA GTTAACAGTT GAGAATAAAA AATTAAAAAT TGATAAGGAA 151 CAGTTAACAA AAGAGAATGA TGATTTAAAA
