Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Studies emphasizing the genotype distribution among ophthalmic isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are scarce. There is no conclusive information on genetic relatedness of the ophthalmic isolates with the commensal and systemic isolates of S. pneumoniae. METHODS: To find out the relatedness between the ophthalmic, invasive and commensal isolates of S. pneumoniae, genotyping was carried...
