st367.0 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. This emm type is quite unique and more related to S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis counterparts than to emm genes typical of S. pyogenes. st367.0 from S. pyogenes (GAS) blood isolate HDP 20070367 recovered from a middle-aged woman in New Caledonia. The isolate was biotype 3, T-nontypeable, and PCR- positive for speB and speC (negative for speA and ssa). Susceptible to penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, clindamycin, rifampin, bacitracin, and vancomycin. Isolate was recovered during 2006.
