Pneumococcal capsule synthesis locus cps as evolutionary hotspot with potential to generate novel serotypes by recombination
Diversity of the polysaccharide capsule in Streptococcus pneumoniae -- main surface antigen and the target of the currently used pneumococcal vaccines -- constitutes a major obstacle in eliminating pneumococcal disease. Such diversity is genetically encoded by almost 100 variants of the capsule bios...
