We report 2 adult cases of invasive disease in Japan caused by Streptococcus oralis that expressed the serotype 3 pneumococcal capsule and formed mucoid colonies. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the identical serotype 3 pneumococcal capsule locus and hyl fragment were recombined into the genomes of 2 distinct S. oralis strains.
我们报告了 2 例在日本发生的侵袭性疾病的成年病例,这些病例由表达 3 型肺炎球菌荚膜血清型且形成粘液样菌落的口腔链球菌引起。全基因组测序显示,相同的 3 型肺炎球菌荚膜基因座和 hyl 片段被重组到 2 个不同的口腔链球菌菌株的基因组中。
