When 100 group A streptococcus isolates were screened, drs, a variant of sic, was identified in emm12 and emm55 isolates. Molecular characterization showed that the drs gene sequence is highly conserved, unlike the sic gene sequence. However, the variation in gene size observed was due to the presence of extra internal repeat sequences.
