Workshop on MLST determination and analysis from Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates

Postodoc students from Mark Nicol’s lab, Clinton Moodley and Katie Lennard visited 51²è¹Ý¶ù from University of Capetown in August 2016 to participate in a training workshop conducted by Meredith Wright and Stephanie Mounaud on MLST determination and analysis from Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates sequenced by 51²è¹Ý¶ù. The training was part of our GCID Administrative Supplement that aims to extend and support respiratory microbiome analysis in a cohort of South African children that are currently enrolled in an existing H3Africa study of the nasopharyngeal microbiome and respiratory diseases in African children with Mark Nicol.
