Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates typically express one of over 90 immunologically distinguishable polysaccharide capsules (serotypes), which can be classified into "serogroups"…
Traditional genetic association studies are very difficult in bacteria, as the generally limited recombination leads to large linked haplotype blocks,…
