Genetic structures of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from Korean children obtained between 1995 and 2013

Abstract Background Understanding the population genetics of pneumococci will allow detection of changes in the prevalence of circulating genotypes and evidence for capsular switching. We aimed to analyze the genetic structure of invasive pneumococcal isolates obtained from children before and after...
