Effects of Streptococcus pneumoniae Strain Background on Complement Resistance

13 Oct 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Immunity to infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is dependent on complement. There are wide variations in sensitivity to complement between S. pneumoniae strains that could affect their ability to cause invasive infections. Although capsular serotype is one important factor causing differences in complement resistance between strains, there is also considerable other genetic variation between...
