Streptococcus pneumoniae: virulence factors and variation.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - 1 May 2010

Mitchell A M, Mitchell T J

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen of humans, causing diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis. The organism produces several virulence factors that are involved in the disease process. The molecular basis of the action of some of these virulence factors is being elucidated. The advent of whole genome sequencing combined with biological studies has demonstrated that genome variation is important in the...
