The Autolysin-Encoding Gene (lytA) of Streptococcus pneumoniae Displays Restricted Allelic Variation despite Localized Recombination Events with Genes of Pneumococcal Bacteriophage Encoding Cell Wall Lytic Enzymes

The lytA-encoded autolysin (N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase) of Streptococcus pneumoniae is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection and has been identified as a putative vaccine target. Allelic diversity of lytA in an extensive collection of clinical isola...
