Sentence examples for a consequence of serotype from inspiring English sources
This is partly a consequence of particular MDR clones being associated with multiple capsule types likely as a consequence of "serotype switching": The acquisition of a novel capsule type through exchange of sequence at the capsule polysaccharide synthesis (cps) locus, which determines the serotype.
Studies in our laboratory indicate that another consequence of serotype switch is changes in disease severity and tissue localization during infection: Serotype 1 of B. turicatae (Bt1), defined by expression of Vsp1, localizes to the brain in 5- to 10-fold higher numbers than serotype 2 (Bt2), defined by expression of Vsp2 [8], [9], [10] [10].
Replacement with non-vaccine pneumococcal serotypes as a consequence of vaccination is a fact [ 26], and therefore it is important to study all aspects of emerging serotypes.
Transitions from noncarriage to double carriage (target types A and B) were estimated to take place half of the time through carriage of type A, as a consequence of the assumed similarity of all target serotypes.
On the contrary, evidence from several countries suggests that serotype replacement in carriage generates as a consequence of vaccination [ 9- 12].
These high avidity cross-reactive cells cannot be detected in convalescent samples, presumably a consequence of activation-induced cell death[36], leaving only populations that show a much greater degree of serotype specificity.
The observed predominance of rare serotypes during cocolonization suggests that simultaneous colonization is not simply a consequence of cumulative exposure to transmission opportunities.
More research is needed to know whether this could be a consequence of improved diagnosis and efficient treatment of symptomatic infections caused by virulent C. trachomatis serotypes linked with stronger symptoms [ 13- 17].
Also, this "lineage turnover" phenomenon appears to be a consequence of the stochastic forces and host immunity pressures, which ultimately determines the prevalence of a specific clade or serotype in a particular season [25], [27].
