Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a Gram-positive bacterium of great importance in public health. The bacterium colonizes the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals, with higher colonization rates in children attending daycare centers and schools. Transmission between individuals occurs via aerosol. In situations of low immunity or that favor the bacterial colonization, s…
Lower respiratory tract infections are a major cause of deaths worldwide. Among the most important etiologic agents is Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), responsible for the death of about 400,000 children under 5 years old worldwide. In addition to children, the elderly are also a risk group for pneumococcal infections. Polysaccharide vaccines are currently applied to children in s…
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is responsible for diseases that kill around 400,000 children under 5 every year, worldwide. Commonly, bacteria colonize the upper respiratory tract of healthy individuals, establishing a commensal relationship with the host. Transmission between individuals occurs from this site. Occasionally, pneumococcus can invade sterile sites causing diseases …
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis worldwide. Recent estimates calculate that approximately 500.000 children under 5 die every year from infections caused by S. pneumoniae around the world. The pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is a well characterized antigen which confers protection in animal models, representing a good alte…

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococus) is a very important bacteria in public health. Pneumococcal diseases, including sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis are responsible for the death of approximately 800,000 people worldwide annually. These deaths occur predominantly in children younger than 5 years old and the elderly, mainly in developing countries. High expe…

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…
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is responsible for diseases such as Pneumonia, Septicemia and Meningitis, which cause the deaths of about 350,000 children under 5 every year, worldwide. Colonization precedes invasive diseases, which usually occur in situations of low immunity or previous inflammation, such as viral infections. Our group evaluated the effects of inflammation on res…

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 …
Infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae mainly affect children and the elderly, causing around 197 million cases of pneumonia per year, mostly in developing countries. The pneumococcal capsule is an important virulence factor, protecting the bacterium against phagocytosis by host cells. The polysaccharides (PS) that compose the capsule show structural and antigenic variability, clas…
