The choline-binding proteins PspA, PspC and LytA of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> and their role on host cellular adhesion and damage

2022-07-11

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen that can colonize the upper respiratory tract. It is a leading cause of a wide range of infectious diseases, including community-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media and bacteraemia. Pneumococcal infections cause 1–2 million deaths per year, most of which occur in developing countries, where this bacterial species is probably the most impor...
