M Protein Gene ( <i>emm</i> Type) Analysis of Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococci from Ethiopia Reveals Unique Patterns
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of group A streptococcal (GAS) isolates obtained in 1990 from Ethiopian children with various streptococcal diseases was studied by using emm gene sequence analysis. A total of 217 GAS isolates were included: 155 and 62 isolates from throat and skin, respectively. A total of 78 different emm/st types were detected among the 217 isolates. Of these, 166 (76.5%) belonged to 52 validated...
