Streptococcus pneumoniae strain:MTY32702340SN814 Genome sequencing and assembly. Streptococcus pneumoniae strain:MTY32702340SN814

Pneumococcal disease is caused by different serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae and constitute a serious problem of morbidity and mortality not only in developing countries but also in industrialized countries. The goals of this Project is to sequence and analyze the genomes of representative samples of the different genotypes of S. pneumoniae identified in northeastern Mexico and study their phylogenetic relationship. The motivation behind our efforts in genotyping of S. pneumoniae is focused on advancing our understanding of the changes that have occurred among the different serotypes of S. pneumoniae and its evolution correlate with drug resistance.
