Digital PCR Linkage Analysis Resolves <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Signature from Commensal Interference in Saliva Samples: Identifying Wolves among Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing

2025-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is essential for evaluating the effects of conjugate polysaccharide vaccines on asymptomatic colonization (carriage) of vaccine-targeted capsular variants (serotypes). However, culture-independent application of molecular methods is hampered by genetic exchange between pneumococcus and oral streptococci co-residing within...
