Abstract excerpt
To examine the molecular population genetics of the M protein family of Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus), the 5' regions of polymerase chain reaction-amplified emm products from 79 M serotypes were sequenced and the phylogeny was compared to estimates of overall genetic relationships among strains determined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Although the 5' emm sequences from several strains...
