Pneumococcal Infection and Pneumococcal Vaccine
New England Journal of Medicine, 1977The pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) is a major cause of pneumonia, otitis media and meningitis throughout the world. Although the mortality resulting from pneumococcal infection has declined strikingly since the introduction of the sulfonamides, penicillin and other antibiotics, what limited epidemiologic evidence is available suggests that the

Pathogenesis of Pneumococcal Infection
New England Journal of Medicine, 1995The study of Streptococcus pneumoniae has led to many insights into the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. The importance of the polysaccharide capsule of the organism in determining its virulence was indicated by studies of the protective role of anticapsular antibodies.1–3 Of comparable importance was the observation that noncapsulated pneumococci

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an encapsulated Gram-positive bacterium that lives almost exclusively in the human nasopharynx. Each pneumococcus expresses one of more than 90 immunologically distinguishable capsular polysaccharides that are the principal target of systemic human immunity and define its serotype ...
