Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 33H: a novel serotype with frameshift mutations in the acetyltransferase gene wciG

Here, we have provided serological, genetic and biochemical evidence that the 33G-like capsule differs to 33G and all other pneumococcal serotypes, meeting the requirements to be designated as a new serotype, which we have named 33H.

Abstract

Here, we have provided serological, genetic and biochemical evidence that the 33G-like capsule differs to 33G and all other pneumococcal serotypes, meeting the requirements to be designated as a new serotype, which we have named 33H.
