Genome-wide association analyses of invasive pneumococcal isolates identify a missense bacterial mutation associated with meningitis

Bacterial mutations predisposing pneumococcus to causing meningitis, a more severe form of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), are largely unknown. Knowledge of such mutations may improve our understanding of pathogenesis and inform preventive strategies. Here we report a pneumococcal pbp1b gene mu...
