Several identical emm-types were originally assigned two numbers: emm-type 44 is identical to emm-type 61 (emm-type 44/61), emm-types 50 and 62 (50/62), emm-types 65 and 69 (65/69), emm-types 38 and 40 (38/40). 223 emm-types are listed in the CDC database (September 18, 2012) [21]. REA, rearranged emm pattern (atypical amplification patterns). ND, not determined.

emm-types from strains isolated prior to 1987. emm-types not included in this study, but whose emm pattern grouping was previously established [31], are indicated in italics. Isolates of emm-types 54 and st854 (underlined) are associated with more than one emm pattern group. Note that emm-types 7, 10, 16, 20, 21, 35, and 45 do not exist.
