Pneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Structure Predicts Serotype Prevalence

11 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

There are 91 known capsular serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence of particular serotypes is relatively stable worldwide, but the host and bacterial factors that maintain these patterns are poorly understood. Given the possibility of serotype replacement following vaccination against seven clinically important serotypes, it is increasingly important to understand these...
