Predominance of emm4 and antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pyogenes in acute pharyngitis in a southern region of Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of emm genotypes was quite different from those previously reported in Korea. emm4 accounted for more than 50 % of the genotypes. Macrolide resistance rates remained very low, but five of six ERY-resistant strains displayed the cMLSB phenotype.
