Sequence Diversity within the Capsular Genes of Streptococcus pneumoniae Serogroup 6 and 19

The main virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the capsule. The polysaccharides comprising this capsule are encoded by approximately 15 genes and differences in these genes result in different serotypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the sequence diversity of the capsular genes...
