Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis for the structural diversity of capsule polysaccharide (CPS) in Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 19 (consisting of types 19F, 19A, 19B, and 19C) has been determined for the first time. In this study, the genetic basis for the 19A and 19C serotypes is described, and the structures of all four serogroup 19 cps loci and their flanking sequences are compared. Transformation studies show that the...
