Abstract excerpt
The unprecedented number of Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) genomes sequenced in recent years has accelerated the discovery of novel serotypes and highlighted the genetic diversity both between and within each serotype. A novel serotype should demonstrate a distinct cps locus, capsular structure and serological profile. In only the past 4 years, nine new serotypes have been identified. Accurate and...
