Invasive Disease
Extracellular matrix formation enhances the ability of Streptococcus pneumoniae to cause invasive disease.
... During infection, pneumococci exist mainly in sessile biofilms rather than in planktonic form, except during sepsis. However, relatively little is known about how biofilms contribute to pneumococcal pathogenesis. Here, ...

Nasopharyngeal colonization and invasive disease are enhanced by the cell wall hydrolases LytB and LytC of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
... There is evidence supporting the idea that the factors needed for pneumococcal infection may also be important in nasopharyngeal colonization, as the majority of the genes required for invasive disease were ...
