The Molecular Basis of Pneumococcal Infection: A Hypothesis

1 Dec 1995

Abstract excerpt

New insight has been gained into the mechanisms underlying the tissue tropism and inflammation of pneumococcal infection. Virulence has been linked to a transparent colonial morphology. Adherence has been characterized at the molecular level, and the importance of receptors arising upon activation of eukaryotic cells in promoting the progression to disease has been established. The contribution of peptidoglycan...
