emm44.0 (emm-cluster E3) 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.

The Lancefield type M44 and M61 strains share the same emm sequence. 
These are 2 genetically divergent strains that share the same emm gene.
