Genetic Analysis of the Capsular Biosynthetic Locus from All 90 Pneumococcal Serotypes (2006)
Stephen D. Bentley, David M. Aanensen, Angeliki Mavroidi, David Saunders, Ester Rabbinowitsch, Matthew Collins, ...
Several major invasive bacterial pathogens are encapsulated. Expression of a polysaccharide capsule is essential for survival in the blood, and thus for virulence, but also is a target for host...

Feil, Edward J., Li, Bao C., Aanensen, David M., Hanage, William P., Spratt, Brian G.
The introduction of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for the precise characterization of isolates of bacterial pathogens has had a marked impact on both routine epidemiological surveillance and...
Evolutionary Genetics of the Capsular Locus of Serogroup 6 Pneumococci
Mavroidi, Angeliki, Godoy, Daniel, Aanensen, David M., Robinson, D. Ashley, Hollingshead, Susan K., Spratt, Brian G.
The evolution of the capsular biosynthetic (cps) locus of serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae was investigated by analyzing sequence variation within three serotype-specific cps genes from 102...

Genetic Relatedness of the Streptococcus pneumoniae Capsular Biosynthetic Loci▿ †
Mavroidi, Angeliki, Aanensen, David M., Godoy, Daniel, Skovsted, Ian C., Kaltoft, Margit S., Reeves, Peter R., ...
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) produces 1 of 91 capsular polysaccharides (CPS) that define the serotype. The cps loci of 88 pneumococcal serotypes whose CPS is synthesized by the...
Aanensen, David M., Mavroidi, Angeliki, Bentley, Stephen D., Reeves, Peter R., Spratt, Brian G.
The sequences of the capsular biosynthetic (cps) loci of 90 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae have recently been determined. Bioinformatic procedures were used to predict the general functions of...
