A functional genomic analysis of type 3 <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> virulence
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in humans, but relatively little is known about the molecular basis of its pathogenesis. We used signature-tagged mutagenesis together with an analysis of S. pneumoniae genome sequence to identify and characterize genes required for pathogenesis. A library of signature-tagged mutants was created by insertion-duplication mutagenesis, and...
