The multidrug-resistant PMEN1 pneumococcus is a paradigm for genetic success
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called the pneumococcus, is a major bacterial pathogen. Since its introduction in the 1940s, penicillin has been the primary treatment for pneumococcal diseases. Penicillin resistance rapidly increased among pneumococci over the past 30 years, and one parti...
