Genetic antigen diversity and gene flux among meningitic and bacteraemia-associated pneumococci from Malawi

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is among the commensal bacteria species that asymptomatically colonise the human nasopharynx. However, this species may occasionally invade the host’s sterile sites (lungs, blood, middle of the ear and cerebral spinal fluid) and cause severe life-threatening disease, such as pneumonia, meningitis, acute otitis media and bacteraemia (bloodstream infection). Invasive pneumococ...
