5. 4. Comparative genomic analyse by microarray technology of pneumococci with different potential to cause disease.

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Sarah Browall; [2007]
   Keywords : Microarray; Streptococcus pneumoniae;

   Abstract : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a gram-positive bacterium that can be found in both healthy carriers as well as in people that have developed disease. One of the major virulence factors of pneumococci is their polysaccharide capsule. Based on the capsule that surrounds the bacteria, pneumococci are divided into at least 90 different serotypes.
