Pneumococcal surface adhesin A (psaA) gene is universally confirmed as one of the
Streptococcus pneumoniae adhesion genes, but it is disputed whether the psaA gene is a …

The gene encoding the pneumococcal surface adhesin A (PsaA) protein has been identified
in three different viridans group streptococcal species. Comparative studies of the psaA …

psaA encodes a 37-kDa putative pneumococcal surface adhesin. Although its complete
nucleotide sequence has been determined, its contribution to the pathogenicity of …

The gene encoding the pneumococcal surface adhesin A (PsaA) protein, psaA, was
confirmed in all Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes by a newly developed PCR (psaA …

Gene psaA, which encodes the Streptococcus pneumoniae 37-kDa protein, was cloned in
Escherichia coli, and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Analysis of the …

Pneumococcal surface adhesin A (PsaA), with a molecular mass of∼ 37 kD by SDS-PAGE,
is a common surface protein expressed by all 90 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. S …

Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is an immunogenic surface protein of Streptococcus
pneumoniae. PspA of S. pneumoniae strain Rx1 is a 65-kDa protein composed of an α …

Abstracts Streptococcus pneumoniae, the leading etiological agent of pneumonia, shares a
high degree of DNA sequence homology with the viridans group of streptococci. The clinical …

The objective of this paper was to investigate the sequence types (STs) and diversity of
surface antigen pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) in 171 invasive Streptococcus …

Purpose. The aim of this study was to characterize serogroup 19 isolates resistant to
macrolides and/or penicillin found among pneumococci recovered from cases of invasive …
