Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a significant cause of bacterial infections, including pneumonia, meningitis and septicemia, primarily affecting children, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. This study aimed to elucidate the serotype and lineage distribution and molecular mechanisms underlying pneumococcal invasiveness through a comprehensive pangenomic analysis of 1416 isolates from Malawi. Our analysis...
