Impact of preceding flu-like illness on the serotype distribution of pneumococcal pneumonia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundEven though the pathogenicity and invasiveness of pneumococcus largely depend on capsular types, the impact of serotypes on post-viral pneumococcal pneumonia is unknown.Methods and findingsThis study was performed to evaluate the impact of ...

Risk factors for Haemophilus influenzae and pneumococcal respiratory tract colonization in CVID [PDF]

, 2018
To the Editor: Disease-specific studies focused on infection risk in common variable immune deficiencies (CVIDs) are needed to define strategies for controlling respiratory infections predominantly due to bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and ...

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.

Isolation site influences virulence phenotype of serotype 14 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains belonging to multilocus sequence type 15 [PDF]

, 2015
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a diverse species causing invasive as well as localized infections that result in massive global morbidity and mortality. Strains vary markedly in pathogenic potential, but the molecular basis is obscured by the diversity and ...

PD‐1 Inhibits CD4+ TRM‐Mediated cDC1 Mobilization via Suppressing JAML in Human NSCLC

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD4+ tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRMs) in non‐small cell lung cancer recruit conventional type 1 dendritic cells via XCL1‐XCR1 signaling, orchestrating antitumor immunity. The costimulatory molecule JAML is essential for this process. PD‐1 blockade restores JAML expression and cDC1 mobilization, while JAML agonists synergize with anti‐PD‐1 therapy,

IL-17 can be protective or deleterious in murine pneumococcal pneumonia [PDF]

, 2018
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia, and the leading agent of childhood pneumonia deaths worldwide. Nasal colonization is an essential step prior to infection.

Gut Dysbiosis during Influenza Contributes to Pulmonary Pneumococcal Superinfection through Altered Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production.

Cell Reports, 2020
Secondary bacterial infections often complicate viral respiratory infections. We hypothesize that perturbation of the gut microbiota during influenza A virus (IAV) infection might favor respiratory bacterial superinfection.
