Selective pressure: Rise of the nonencapsulated pneumococcus
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Introduction Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) remains the leading cause of bacterial otitis media (OM), pneumonia, and meningitis despite routine vaccination spanning decades [1,2].

SEROLOGICAL REACTIONS IN PNEUMONIA WITH A NON-PROTEIN SOMATIC FRACTION OF PNEUMOCOCCUS
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1930 1. Sera from individuals acutely ill with lobar pneumonia possess the capacity to precipitate in high titre a non-protein somatic fraction derived from pneumococci (Fraction C). Following crisis the reaction is no longer demonstrable. 2.

Overlapping functionality of the Pht proteins in zinc homeostasis of streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
, 2014 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a globally significant pathogen that causes a range of diseases, including pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, and otitis media. Its ability to cause disease depends upon the acquisition of nutrients from its environment, including

Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Background: In 2009, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was introduced in South Africa. However, there are concerns that this could lead to an increase in colonisation of non-vaccine serotypes (serotype replacement). Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 350

Vaccination as a solution of the issue of resistance S. pneumoniae
Эпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2021 Relevance Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing acute global health issue. Uncontrolled combined use of antibiotics determines changes in the microbial agents' properties, leading to a decrease of susceptibility to antimicrobial substances and ...

Naturally Acquired Human Immunity to Pneumococcus Is Dependent on Antibody to Protein Antigens
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Naturally acquired immunity against invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is thought to be dependent on anti-capsular antibody. However nasopharyngeal colonisation by Streptococcus pneumoniae also induces antibody to protein antigens that could be ...
