The unprecedented number of Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) genomes sequenced in recent years has accelerated the discovery of novel serotypes and highlighted the genetic diversity both be...

The GPS Pipeline enables accessible and scalable genomic surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It performs quality control and in silico typing of sequencing reads with high accuracy using a single simple command, without requiring the internet.

Nature Reviews Microbiology - This Genome Watch article explores how metagenomics can be used to investigate viral diversity and track emerging zoonotic disease threats from wildlife.

Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a leading respiratory pathogen for children and the elderly. In Taiwan, a national PCV13 catch-up vaccination programme for children began in March 2013. This study in...

Barton et al. identify Streptococcus pneumoniae promoters containing repetitive nucleotide sequences that promote DNA strand slippage and accumulation of promoter sequence mutations. This drives popul...

In 2017, 553,000 clinical cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae in children were reported in China, although the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), which targets the pneumococcal capsule, is not includ...

Serotype 24F is one of the emerging pneumococcal serotypes after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). We aimed to identify lineages driving the increase of serotype 24F in France ...

Funds are available to support eligible members attending the Society Annual Conference or one other Society meeting per year.

Background and aims. Despite the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs), Streptococcus pneumoniae still remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children...

SUMMARY<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> (the "pneumococcus") is a significant human pathogen. The key determinant of pneumococcal fitness and virulence is its ability to produce a protective polysaccha...
