Abstract excerpt
DNA probes specific for the pneumococcal competence regulatory genes comA and comC were used to test the presence of these genes in 214 pneumococcal isolates selected to represent a wide variety of clonal types and genetic backgrounds (as defined by chromosomal macrorestriction patterns and multilocus enzyme analysis), a variety of serotypes, isolation dates (between 1916 and 1996), geographic origins (on four...
