emm238.1 (emm cluster A-C3) (formerly emm1-2.2) 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. emm1-2.2 (formerly emm1.2.b) from isolate 209 recovered from acute glomerulonephritis patient in Ethiopia during 1990. Sequence and information concerning this strain supplied by Dr. Wezenet Towodros, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. emm1-2 is not considered a subtype of emm1 in our typing but is considered a distinct type. The emm1-2 sequence was first described in GenBank accession U20096.
