Metabolic Rewiring at the Pyruvate Node Drives Severe Pneumonia and T-Cell Suppression in Serotype 3 <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Infection
2026-02-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Serotype 3 (ST3) Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major cause of invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumonia despite PCV13 introduction, in part due to potent immune evasion properties. The contribution of the pyruvate metabolic node (SpxB/LctO pathways) to ST3 pathogenesis is poorly defined. <h4>Methods</h4> We investigated oxygen-dependent fitness, virulence, and lung pathology in the S...
