Piliation of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in the era before pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction in Malawi.

Clinical and vaccine immunology : CVI - 1 Nov 2013

Abstract excerpt

The pneumococcal pilus has been shown to be an important determinant of adhesion and virulence in mouse models of colonization, pneumonia, and bacteremia. A pilus is capable of inducing protective immunity, supporting its inclusion in next-generation pneumococcal protein vaccine formulations. Whe...
