An abundance of <i>aliC</i> and <i>aliD</i> genes were identified in saliva using a novel multiplex qPCR to characterize group II non-encapsulated pneumococci with improved specificity

2024-11-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> 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...
