Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Argentinian children: serotypes, families of pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) and genetic diversity.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

PspA is an antigenically variable virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae that inhibits complement deposition and is a potential candidate for human vaccines. Of 64 published strains 96% are in PspA families 1 and 2; optimal protection is family-specific. Effective development of a PspA-cont...
