Survey of emm Gene Sequences from Pharyngeal Streptococcus pyogenes Isolates Collected in Spain and Their Relationship with Erythromycin Susceptibility
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
We conducted a nationwide survey of the variable 5' emm (M protein gene) sequences from 614 pharyngeal Streptococcus pyogenes isolates susceptible (299 isolates) and resistant (315 isolates) to erythromycin that were isolated in Spain from 1996 to 1999. Almost 98% of these isolates had emm sequences in agreement with previously recorded M antigen association. We only identified a new 5' emm sequence in 17...
