Abstract excerpt

Recently, it has been reported that some non-typable (NT) Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Korea and other countries contained a novel gene pspK in the capsular polysaccharide synthesis (cps) locus. In this study, we investigated the presence of pspK in 120 NT S. pneumoniae isolates from 12 Asian countries; isolate characteristics were also examined. The presence of pspK was assayed by PCR. Clonality of NT...
