Pneumococcal attachment to epithelial cells is enhanced by the secreted peptide VP1 via its control of hyaluronic acid processing

2019-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is an important human pathogen. It can either asymptomatically colonize the nasopharynx or spread to other tissues to cause mild to severe diseases. Nasopharyngeal colonization is a prerequisite for all pneumococcal diseases. We describe a molecular pathway utilized by pneumococcus to adhere to host cells and promote colonizati...
