Genetic diversity and antigenicity analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumolysin isolated from children with pneumococcal infection
Background: Pneumolysin (Ply), as a major virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae, has attracted increased attention for its potential value in the development of next-generation protein-based pneumococcal vaccines. This study aimed to analyze the genetic and antigenic diversity that can influe...
