Nonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae can colonize the human nasopharynx and cause conjunctivitis and otitis media. Different deletions in the capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis locus and different multilocus sequence types have been described for nonencapsulated strains. Draft genome sequences were generated to provide insight into the genomic diversity of these strains.
非包膜肺炎链球菌可定植于人类鼻咽部并引起结膜炎和中耳炎。已描述了非包膜菌株在荚膜多糖生物合成位点的不同缺失以及不同的多位点序列类型。生成了基因组草图序列以深入了解这些菌株的基因组多样性。
