Genome sequences of 36 <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> strains optimized for the multiplexed opsonophagocytosis killing assay
A multiplexed opsonophagocytosis assay (MOPA) was developed as a cost-effective, high-throughput biological assay to evaluate the efficacy of pneumococcal vaccines by <i>in vitro</i> measurement of opsonophagocytic activity of anti-capsular antibodies. Here, we report draft genomes of the 36 strains of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> developed for use in the reference pneumococcal MOPA.
