Role of BgaA as a Pneumococcal Virulence Factor Elucidated by Molecular Evolutionary Analysis

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. Previously, we identified a novel virulence factor by investigating evolutionary selective pressure exerted on pneumococcal choline-binding cell surface proteins. Herein, we focus on another pneumococcal cell surface pro...
