Abstract

ABSTRACT Forty group A streptococcus (GAS) isolates, recovered during a scarlet fever outbreak, were grouped based on their Dde I restriction profiles from emm amplicons. Twenty-seven isolates were identified by sequencing as emm2 . The emm2 isolates showed the speA1 , speB1 , and speC1 alleles. Isolation of this GAS type from scarlet fever outbreaks is uncommon.
