Streptococcus mitis Expressing Pneumococcal Serotype 1 Capsule

13 Dec 2018

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae's polysaccharide capsule is an important virulence factor; vaccine-induced immunity to specific capsular polysaccharide effectively prevents disease. Serotype 1 S. pneumoniae is rarely found in healthy persons, but is highly invasive and a common cause of meningitis outbreaks and invasive disease outside of the United States. Here we show that genes for polysaccharide capsule similar to...
