Intraclonal variations among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates influence the likelihood of invasive disease in children.
Journal article, 2014

Pneumococcal serotypes are represented by a varying number of clonal lineages with different genetic contents, potentially affecting invasiveness. However, genetic variation within the same genetic lineage may be larger than anticipated.
