Investigation of cultivation conditions for capsular polysaccharide production by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 14
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is among the most significant causes of bacterial disease in humans. Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) production is essential for pneumococcal virulence. Pneumococcal CPS has been widely used as vaccine antigen. This study is focused on the influence of culture c...
