Evaluation of pneumococcal serotyping in nasopharyngeal carriage isolates by latex agglutination, whole genome sequencing (PneumoCaT) and DNA microarray in a high pneumococcal carriage prevalence population in Malawi

T. D. Swarthout, A. Gori, N. Bar-Zeev, A. W. Kamng'ona, T. S. Mwalukomo, F. Bonomali, R. Nyirenda, C. Brown, J. Msefula, D. Everett, C. Mwansambo, K. Gould, J. Hinds, R. Heyderman, N. French

The paper evaluates three pneumococcal serotyping methods in Malawi, finding high concordance between latex agglutination, whole genome sequencing, and DNA microarray, with microarray improving detection of low-abundance vaccine serotypes.

Streptolysin production and activity is central to in vivo pathotype and disease outcome in GAS infections

J. Clarke, M. Baltazar, M. Alsahag, S. Panagiotou, M. Pouget, W. A. Paxton, G. Pollakis, D. Everett, N. French, A. Kadioglu

This study shows that streptolysin O (SLO) production and activity determine the pathotype and disease outcome in Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections, with implications for therapeutic strategies.
