Molecular Characterization of Equine Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae : Natural Disruption of Genes Encoding the Virulence Factors Pneumolysin and Autolysin

1 Jun 1999

Abstract excerpt

Although often considered a strict human pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae has been reported to infect and cause pneumonia in horses, although the pathology appears restricted compared to that of human infections. Here we report on the molecular characterization of a group of S. pneumoniae isolates obtained from horses in England and Ireland. Despite being obtained from geographically distinct locations, the...
