The Biology of Pneumococcal Infection [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1997 For 100 y, the study of the molecular mechanism of pneumococcal infection has richly rewarded biomedical science and pediatrics. More recently, a framework has emerged for how the pathogen engineers colonization, invasion of the lung and bloodstream, and finally, entry into the brain.

Obesity, leptin and host defence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: the case for more human research
European Respiratory Review, 2022 Pneumococcal pneumonia is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Obesity is a risk factor for pneumonia. Host factors play a critical role in susceptibility to pulmonary pathogens and outcome from pulmonary infections.

Are the immunomodulatory properties of Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 peptidoglycan common for all Lactobacilli during respiratory infection in malnourished mice? [PDF]
, 2018 Previously, we reported that Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 peptidoglycan (PG05) improves the innate immune response in immunocompromised-malnourished mice after Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
