Genetic diversity of the pneumococcal capsule: implications for molecular-based serotyping.

Future microbiology - 1 Sept 2009

McEllistrem Mary Catherine

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae remains an important pathogen despite licensure of a seven-valent pneumococcal protein conjugate vaccine. As a result, serotyping strains remains of paramount importance to both assess the effectiveness of current vaccines and closely monitor for the emergence of nonvaccine strains. Given the limitations of the quellung reaction, both molecular and immunology-based serotyping methods have...
