Fluorinated galactose analogues inhibit Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilm formation

2026-03-11

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, causing invasive diseases such as pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis, but also less severe localised infections like otitis media. To enable pneumococcal survival in the nutritionally challenging nasopharyngeal niche, it possesses an extensive repertoire of genes dedicated to the utilisation of a wide range of carbohydrates. Galactose, t...
