Solutions of the bodies of pneumococci, obtained by dissolving them in dilute solutions of sodium cholate, by permitting them to undergo autolysis, or by first freezing, drying, and then grinding in salt solution, are actively hemolytic for rabbit, sheep, guinea pig, and human red blood corpuscles. The substance on which this hemolytic property depends

PM2.5 impairs macrophage functions to exacerbate pneumococcus-induced pulmonary pathogenesis
Background Pneumococcus is one of the most common human airway pathogens that causes life-threatening infections. Ambient fine particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is known to significantly contribute to respiratory diseases.

Deoxyribonucleases of Pneumococcus
Abstract Two enzymes with deoxyribonuclease activity were isolated from Pneumococcus. One of these, an endonuclease active on both native and denatured deoxyribonucleic acid, produced 5'-phosphate-terminated fragments which, even after extensive degradation, were larger than mononucleotides.
