An Abundance of aliC and aliD Genes Was Identified in Saliva Using a Novel Multiplex qPCR to Characterize Group II Non-Encapsulated Pneumococci With Improved Specificity
2024-12-05
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Surveillance of pneumococcus is reporting increasing prevalence of non-encapsulated pneumococci (NESp). NESp are an important reservoir for genetic exchange among streptococci, including for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and are increasingly implicated in disease. Disease-associated NESp commonly carry the virulence genes _pspK,_ or _aliC_ and _aliD_ in their _cps_ locus instead of capsule genes. Whi...
