Abstract
Among 34 Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) sequential isolates from middle ear fluid, we found a case of a nontypeable S. pneumoniae (NT-Spn) in a child with acute otitis media (AOM). The strain was pneumolysin PCR positive and capsule gene PCR negative. Virulence of the NT-Spn was confirmed in a chinchilla model of AOM. Copyright ÂEntities:
