Storage stability of non-encapsulated pneumococci in saliva is dependent on null-capsule clade, with strains carrying <i>aliC</i> and <i>aliD</i> showing a competitive disadvantage during culture enrichment

2025-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Non-encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae (NESp) represent up to 19% of circulating pneumococci and exhibit high rates of antimicrobial resistance. Saliva is increasingly used as a pneumococcal carriage study specimen, and we recently developed a qPCR assay to enhance carriage surveillance and characterization of NESpn in saliva. Previous work has established that pneumococci remain viable in...
