Separation of daughter cells during bacterial cell division requires splitting of the septal cross wall by peptidoglycan hydrolases. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, PcsB is predicted to perform this ...
The emergence of antibiotic resistance during treatment for pneumococcal infection is exceedingly rare. 1 To our knowledge, there is no previous report of a genetically characterized, ...
Researchers at the University of California (CA, USA) have uncovered a mechanism that allows Group A Streptococcus (GAS) to avoid immune detection, enhancing bacterial virulence and decreasing ...
Background. The epidemiology of streptococcal infection in pregnant and postpartum women is poorly described in recent literature. We used data from multistate surveillance for invasive Streptococcus ...
One possible explanation for the apparently reduced efficacy of pneumococcal vaccine in elderly subjects is that IgG responses to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides (PPSs) decline with aging. We ...
Vaccinating laboratory mice with Streptococcus mitis bacteria prevents their virulent sibling, Streptococcus pneumoniae from infecting the mice. The research suggests that vaccination of humans with ...
