Popis:	Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngeal colonization rates were determined among 1061 asymptomatic students in Hawaii and American Samoa where acute rheumatic fever rates are high. All GAS isolates were emm sequence typed. Although pharyngeal colonization rates were low in Hawaii (3.4%), Pacific Islander children had significantly higher colonization rates (5.7% vs. 1.2% in other ethnic groups, p
