PepN is a non-essential, cell wall-localized protein that contributes to neutrophil elastase-mediated killing of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>

2018-05-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus pneumoniae ( Spn ) is an asymptomatic colonizer of the human nasopharynx but can also cause invasive diseases in the inner ear, meninges, lung and blood. Although various mechanisms contribute to the effective clearance of Spn , opsonophagocytosis by neutrophils is perhaps most critical. Upon phagocytosis, Spn is exposed to various degradative molecules, including a family of ne...
