Identity to bases 31-180 (encodes mature N-terminus) and ungapped identity or near-identity to complete 180 base sequence defines this subtype. stG653.1 from group A streptococcal skin isolate 224 from AGN patient in Ethiopia during 1990. Type stG653 almost always associated with group G S. dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis. Although isolate 224 was group A, its species was not determined.
