Genomic diversity in naturally transformable Streptococcus pneumoniae
… capsular polysaccharide based vaccines through serotype replacement and capsular switching, all reflect the extensive diversity and plasticity of the genome of this naturally transformable organism which can readily alter its genome in response to its environment and the pressures placed upon it …

Biofilm formation and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae
… attempts to associate a given clonal lineage or serotype with propensity to cause disease; as well as in the identification of specific molecular determinants of distinct virulence phenotypes. Formation of biofilms is an important step in pneumococcal pathogenesis, as they serve as reservoirs of …

Respiratory Tract Infections: Aspects of Aetiology, Virulence, and Communicable Disease Control
… study of IPD demonstrated that pneumococcal serotypes differ regarding their capacity to cause septic shock and, together with age and co-morbidities, have an important impact on outcome. The primary endpoint in our investigation was septic shock, a state produced by the immune system and …

Reassortment of bluetongue virus vaccine serotypes in cattle
… double stranded (ds) RNA genome and currently 27 serotypes have been identified worldwide. The virus is transmitted by Culicoide biting midges (Diptera: Ceratoponidae) and the occurrence of the disease depends on the presence and abundance of competent vectors. In South Africa most European ovine …
