Clonal relationships between invasive and carriage Streptococcus pneumoniae and serotype- and clone-specific differences in invasive disease potential.
By use of multilocus sequence typing, Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates causing invasive disease (n=150) were compared with those from nasopharyngeal carriage (n=351) among children in Oxford. The prevalence of individual clones (sequence types) and serotypes among isolates from invasive disease was...
