    Abstract
    emm-cluster typing system allows to classify most Streptococcus pyogenes variants into 48 different emm clusters. The system correlates nicely with the host serum binding capacities of the M proteins and has been used in epidemiological surveys, strain selection, and vaccine development. Here we describe the allocation of the emm cluster based on the emm-typing defining region.
