Comparative genomic analysis of the emerging pathogen Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae: novel insights into virulence determinants and identification of a novel species-specific molecular marker
Abstract:31Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae is a close relative of the major human pathogen S. 32 pneumoniae. While initially considered as a commensal species, it has been increasingly 33 associated with lower-respiratory tract infections and high prevalence of antimicrobial 34 resistance (AMR). S. pseudopneumoniae is difficult to identify using traditional typing 35 methods due to similarities with S. pneumoniae and other members of the mitis group (SMG). 36 Using phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses of … Show more
