<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> accessory capsular genes modulate fitness, pathogenicity and immune evasion

2025-09-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Globally, Streptococcus pneumoniae disproportionally affects children in resource-poor settings, older adults and people living with HIV. Frequently found as an asymptomatic colonizer of the nasopharynx, this versatile pathogen is a prominent cause of pneumonia, meningitis, bacteraemia and otitis media. Recently, a serotype 3 capsule variant (GPSC10-ST700) has expanded in Malawi with enhanced v...
