A low-cost culture- and DNA extraction-free method for the molecular detection of pneumococcal carriage in saliva [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Molecular methods have improved the sensitivity of the detection of pneumococcal carriage in saliva. However, they typically require sample culture enrichment and nucleic acid extraction prior to performing the detection assay and may limit scalability ...

Humoral Immunity and Antibody Responses against Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pneumococcus after Immune Effector Cell Therapies: A Prospective Study [PDF]

Vaccines
Patients undergoing immune effector cell therapy (IECT) are at high risk for infections. We assessed seropositivity against pneumococcus, tetanus, and diphtheria in patients before and after IECT and the patients’ response to vaccination.

Multi-serotype pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence in vaccine naïve Nepalese children, assessed using molecular serotyping. [PDF]

, 2015
Invasive pneumococcal disease is one of the major causes of death in young children in resource poor countries. Nasopharyngeal carriage studies provide insight into the local prevalence of circulating pneumococcal serotypes.

A 3’UTR-derived small RNA represses pneumolysin synthesis and facilitates pneumococcal brain invasion [PDF]

Communications Biology
Pneumolysin (Ply) of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) at relatively high and low levels facilitates pneumococcal invasion into the lung and brain, respectively; however, the regulatory mechanisms of Ply expression are poorly understood.

Analisis Kestabilan Model Matematika Ko-infeksi Virus Influenza A dan Pneumokokus pada Sel Inang

Contemporary Mathematics and Applications (ConMathA), 2020
Co-infection of influenza A virus and pneumococcus is caused by influenza A virus and pneumococcus bacteria which infected host cell at the same time. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze stability of equilibrium point on mathematical model within ...

Characterization of the innate immune response to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in zebrafish.

PLoS Genetics, 2023
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is one of the most frequent causes of pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis in humans, and an important cause of mortality among children and the elderly.

Pn-AqpC-Mediated Fermentation Pattern Coordination with the Two-Component System 07 Regulates Host N-Glycan Degradation of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a human nasopharyngeal commensal, and host N-glycan metabolism promotes its colonization and invasion.

Carriage Dynamics of Pneumococcal Serotypes in Naturally Colonized Infants in a Rural African Setting During the First Year of Life

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) carriage precedes invasive disease and influences population-wide strain dynamics, but limited data exist on temporal carriage patterns of serotypes due to the prohibitive costs of longitudinal studies.

Pneumococcal genetic variability in age-dependent bacterial carriage

eLife, 2022
The characteristics of pneumococcal carriage vary between infants and adults. Host immune factors have been shown to contribute to these age-specific differences, but the role of pathogen sequence variation is currently less well-known. Identification of
