We have previously reported the nucleotide sequence of the Streptococcus pneumoniae type 19F capsular polysaccharide synthesis locus (cps19f), which consists of 15 open reading frames (ORFs) designated cps19fA to -O. Hybridization analysis indicated that close homologs for cps19fA to -H and cps19fK to -O were found in type 19B, but there were no homologs for cps19fI and -J. In this study we used long-range PCR to amplify and clone a 10.5-kb section of the S. pneumoniae type 19B capsule locus (cp ...[more]
