The M protein of group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the major virulence factor and is coded by the emm gene. The current serologic M typing methods are now being replaced by alternate means of M type deduction such as emm gene sequencing. This is the first report of emm types of GAS which are prevalent in south India. We found no marked preponderance of any single emm sequence among our clinical isolates with 11 emm sequences being present in 34 isolates.
A群链球菌（GAS）的M蛋白是主要的毒力因子，由emm基因编码。目前的血清学M分型方法正被诸如emm基因测序等其他推断M型的方法所取代。这是关于在印度南部流行的GAS的emm型的首次报告。我们发现，在我们的临床分离株中，没有任何单一的emm序列占明显优势，34株分离株中存在11种emm序列。
