Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium that asymptomatically colonizes the nasopharynx and can disseminate to sterile sites resulting in pneumococcal diseases such as pneumonia, otitis media, bacteremia, and meningitis. Due to increased incidence of invasive disease caused by serotypes that are not included in available polysaccharide vaccines, there is a need for a broadly protec...
