Pneumococcal Surface Proteins as Virulence Factors, Immunogens, and Conserved Vaccine Targets
12 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
is an opportunistic pathogen that causes over 1 million deaths annually despite the availability of several multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). Due to the limitations surrounding PCVs along with an evolutionary rise in antibiotic-resistant and unencapsulated strains, conserved immunogenic proteins as vaccine targets continue to be an important field of study for pneumococcal disease prevention. In...
