Abstract excerpt

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) synthesis locus of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 9V was amplified by long-range PCR and sequenced. The locus was 17368 bp in size and contained 15 ORFs. The genetic organization of the cluster shared many features with other S. pneumoniae capsule loci, including the presence of four putative regulatory genes at the 5' end. Comparative sequence analyses allowed putative...
