The role of immune tolerance pathways in bacterial pathogen colonisation

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: The human nasopharyngeal niche contains bacterial flora made up of commensal and potentially pathogenic species. Opportunistic bacterial pathogens of the upper respiratory tract include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa also has the ability to persist in the upper respiratory tract, and this process is thought to precede lung infection in...
