The blp locus of Streptococcus pneumoniae plays a limited role in the selection of strains that can cocolonize the human nasopharynx

Nasopharyngeal colonization is important for Streptococcus pneumoniae evolution, providing the opportunity for horizontal gene transfer when multiple strains co-occur. Although colonization with more than one strain of pneumococcus is common, the factors that influence the ability of strains to coex...
