Pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2000
The pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection is a complex interplay between pneumococcal virulence determinants and the host immune response. Molecular studies have considerably advanced our knowledge and understanding of the precise structures and functions of the different determinants and their pathogenic roles. This review describes the mechanisms by

The Roles of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 and 4 in Pneumococcal Nasal Colonization and Subsequent Development of Invasive Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, neuronal stimulations widely known to be associated with thermal responses, pain induction, and osmoregulation, have been shown in recent studies to have underlying mechanisms associated with inflammatory ...

Pneumococcal carriage in sub-Saharan Africa--a systematic review. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal epidemiology varies geographically and few data are available from the African continent. We assess pneumococcal carriage from studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) before and after the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)
