The influence of in vitro fitness defects on pneumococcal ability to colonize and to cause invasive disease

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Streptococcus pneumoniae </it>is a genetically diverse major human pathogen, yet a common colonizer of the nasopharynx. Here we analyzed the influence of defects affecting <it>in vitro </it>growth rate, on...
