Genetic analysis of virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae

2006-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is known to be a genetically diverse species, and this important pathogen is amongst the most significant causes of bacterial disease in humans (such as pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis and otitis media). The infection process exposes the pneumococcus to numerous stress conditions, including temperature shift between the upper respiratory tract and deeper tissues, pH c...
