st463.0 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. st463.0 from isolate 463 (Opacity factor positive)recovered from throat of child in Ethiopia with tonsilitis during 1990. Three additional st463.0 isolates recovered in Ethiopia during this time from healthy carriers.
