Estudos sôbre o pneumococo: 4a. nota - Influência do pH do meio sôbre a formação da cápsula pelo pneumococo Influence of pH of the medium on the formation of the capsule by pneumococcus

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1944
One of the features of pneumococcus which has deserved the attention of investigators is the capsule. Since Pasteur, Chamberland and Roux (1881) several functions have been ascribed to it as well as peculiar properties. In the present paper, we take into

Impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on the carriage density of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus in children living with HIV: a nested case–control study

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020
Nasopharyngeal colonization density of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is associated with disease severity and transmission. Little is known about the density of pneumococcal carriage in children with HIV (CLH).

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
