Effect of Serotype on Pneumococcal Competition in a Mouse Colonization Model

Effect of Serotype on Pneumococcal Competition in a Mouse Colonization Model

ABSTRACT Competitive interactions between Streptococcus pneumoniae strains during host colonization could influence the serotype distribution in nasopharyngeal carriage and pneumococcal disease. We evaluated the competitive fitness of strains of serotypes 6B, 14, 19A, 19F, 23F, and 35B in a mouse mo...
