Genetic diversity of pneumococcal surface protein A in invasive pneumococcal isolates from Korean children, 1991-2016

Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is an important virulence factor of pneumococci and has been investigated as a primary component of a capsular serotype-independent pneumococcal vaccine. Thus, we sought to determine the genetic diversity of PspA to explore its potential as a vaccine candidate....
