Streptococcus pneumoniae respiratory tract infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2001This review describes recent contributions to our understanding of pneumococcal pneumonia. Two genes have been described that encode enzymes involved with the biosynthesis of muropeptides. These enzymes may be novel antibiotic targets.

Bacterial lysates in the prevention of respiratory tract infections.
Otolaryngologia polska = The Polish otolaryngology, 2018Bacterial lysates stimulate the general immunity of the body in a non-specific way. They act on non-specific defense mechanisms, leading to an increase in type A antibody in mucous membranes, phagocytic activity and INF-ƴ production.
