Nonpneumococcal Strains Recently Recovered from Carriage Specimens and Expressing Capsular Serotypes Highly Related or Identical to Pneumococcal Serotypes 2, 4, 9A, 13, and 23A

The polysaccharide capsule is a key virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae. There are numerous epidemiologically important pneumococcal capsular serotypes, and recent findings have demonstrated that several of them are commonly found among nonpathogenic commensal species. Here, we describe 9 n...
