Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of IL-1 to resistance to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.

TL;DR: All three isoforms contribute to protection against S. pneumoniae; the results suggest that IL-1beta has a major role in resistance to primary pneumococcal infection while the role ofIL-1alpha is less important.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae may be determined independently of capsular polysaccharide.

TL;DR: It is concluded that factor(s) in addition to the capsule, contribute to disease outcome in mice inoculated intranasally with Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates of serotype 14 and a capsular switch of 14R, strain 9VR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pneumococcal 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase, a putative adhesin, induces protective immune response in mice.

TL;DR: 6PGD was identified as a surface‐located immunogenic lectin protein capable of acting as an adhesin and its importance to bacterial pathogenesis was demonstrated by the ability of r6 PGD to elicit a protective immune response in mice.
