Capsule gene cluster expression. (a) Mean expression of cpsABCD (SSU_RS02765-SSU_RS02780), the initial four genes in the cps gene cluster, which are shared by all strains. Grouped by serotype 2 (all from pathogenic clades), other pathogenic clade strains and commensal clade strains. (b) Scatterplot with regression lines comparing the mean expression of cpsABCD with the cpsR (SSU_RS02755) regulator. Only the serotype 2 strains had a negative correlation between cpsR and cps expression, although serotype 2 strains D43 and D49 also appeared to be regulated differently, as cpsABCD expression was similar in the two media.
