ZmpB, a novel virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae that induces tumor necrosis factor alpha production in the respiratory tract.

Infection and immunity - 1 Sept 2003

Blue C E, Paterson G K, Kerr A R, Bergé M, Claverys J P, Mitchell T J

Abstract excerpt

Inflammation is a prominent feature of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in both humans and animal models. Indeed, an intense host immune response to infection is thought to contribute significantly to the pathology of pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis. Previously, induction of the inflammat...
