Abstract
Lower respiratory tract infections are a major cause of death worldwide. Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is among the most important etiologic agents, being responsible for the annual death of about 400,000 children under 5 years old worldwide. The elderly are also a high risk group for pneumococcal infections. Polysaccharide vaccines are currently applied to children in several c…
Development of vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae using bacterial components as adjuvants for the PspA antigen, BP.DD
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) colonizes the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals, establishing a commensal relationship with the host. Occasionally, pneumococcus may invade normally sterile sites causing diseases such as pneumonia, septicemia, meningitis, otitis media, and sinusitis. Annually, pneumococcus is responsible for the death of about 400,000 children under th…

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is an important human pathogen that causes diseases such as pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis, being responsible for several hospitalizations and deaths. Vaccines currently available on the market are composed of polysaccharides derived from the capsule of prevalent serotypes; however, an important concern is related to their efficacy limited to the …
