Studies on the mechanism of bacterial resistance to complement-mediated killing. III. C5b-9 deposits stably on rough and type 7 S. pneumoniae without causing bacterial killing.

Journal of Immunology, 1983
Gram-positive cocci resist direct killing by serum. The mechanism of resistance was studied by measuring consumption of terminal complement components from serum and uptake of purified, radiolabeled C7 and C9 on rough and encapsulated type 7 ...

Pathogenicity and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: Cutting to the chase on proteases

Virulence, 2021
Bacterial proteases and peptidases are integral to cell physiology and stability, and their necessity in Streptococcus pneumoniae is no exception. Protein cleavage and processing mechanisms within the bacterial cell serve to ensure that the cell lives ...

Nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae and serotypes indentified among nursing home residents in comparison to the elderly and patients younger than 65 years living in domestic environment

Slovenian Journal of Public Health, 2017
In Slovenia, there is little data available on pneumococcal vaccination rates and no data on asymptomatic NPCR and serotypes in the population of nursing home residents in comparison to the elderly living in domestic environment, therefore the goal was ...
