Influenza Virus Enhances Bacterial Growth in the Lungs through Weakening Capsule Receptor-Mediated Bacterial Capture by Neutrophils
2024-11-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Certain serotypes of encapsulated bacteria are more associated with severe pneumonia than others, but the biological reason behind this association has remained largely unknown. This study has uncovered a causal relationship between capsule serotype and virulence phenotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae , a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia, in mice using isogenic bacteria. Certain hig...
