Characterization of in vitro biofilm-associated pneumococcal phase variants of a clinically relevant serotype 3 clone.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jan 2007

McEllistrem M Catherine, Ransford Jennifer V, Khan Saleem A

Abstract excerpt

An increasing proportion of children with acute otitis media due to Streptococcus pneumoniae have serotype 3 infections since licensure of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. These serotype 3 strains are genetically related by molecular subtyping. During otitis media with effusion and recurrent otitis media, biofilms commonly develop. Pneumococcal in vitro biofilms are comprised of phase variants...
