Estimating the burden of pneumococcal pneumonia among adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic techniques [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Pneumococcal pneumonia causes significant morbidity and mortality among adults. Given limitations of diagnostic tests for non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, most studies report the incidence of bacteremic or invasive pneumococcal disease (

Distinct Effects on Diversifying Selection by Two Mechanisms of Immunity Against Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation to evade host immunity has long been assumed to be a driving force of diversifying selection in pathogens. Colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is central to the organism's transmission and therefore evolution, is limited ...

STUDIES ON PNEUMOCOCCUS GROWTH INHIBITION

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1924
Somewhat discordant results which have been reported by others who have investigated the property of the whole blood of resistant animals to cause inhibition of growth or death of pneumococci have led us to investigate this matter and to develop a new ...
