Pneumococcal genetic variability in age-dependent bacterial carriage

Pneumococcal genetic variability in age-dependent bacterial carriage

The characteristics of pneumococcal carriage vary between infants and adults. Host immune factors have been shown to contribute to these age-specific differences, but the role of pathogen sequence variation is currently less well-known. Identification of age-associated pathogen genetic factors could...
