Genome Analysis of a Highly Virulent Serotype 1 Strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae from West Africa
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, estimated to cause 2 million deaths annually. The majority of pneumococcal mortality occurs in developing countries, with serotype 1 a leading cause in these areas. To begin to better understand the larger impact t...
