The Global Pneumococcal Sequencing Project
- A worldwide genomic survey of the impact of vaccination on the pathogen population
Our Mission
We employ whole genome sequencing of large numbers of isolates to create a picture of the evolution of Streptococcus pneumoniae during the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines to characterise patterns of genetic adaptation on global and regional scales
