Genomic analysis of nontypeable pneumococci causing invasive pneumococcal disease in South Africa, 2003–2013

BACKGROUND: The capsular polysaccharide is the principal virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae and a target for current pneumococcal vaccines. However, some pathogenic pneumococci are serologically nontypeable [nontypeable pneumococci (NTPn)]. Due to their relative rarity, NTPn are poorly cha...
