Diurnal differences in intracellular replication within splenic macrophages correlates with the outcome of pneumococcal infection.

R. G. Hames, Z. Jasiunaite, G. Ercoli, J. J. Wanford, D. Carreno, K. Straatman, L. Martinez-Pomares, H. Yesilkaya, S. Glenn, E. R. Moxon, P. W. Andrew, C. P. Kyriacou, M. R. Oggioni

This study shows that pneumococcal infection in mice during their active phase leads to faster septicaemia onset and higher bacterial burden in splenic macrophages compared to rest phase infection.

Pneumococcal attachment to epithelial cells is enhanced by the secreted peptide VP1 via its control of hyaluronic acid processing

R. A. Cuevas, E. Elnaz Ebrahimi, O. Gazioglu, H. Yesilkaya, N. L. Hiller

This paper identifies VP1 as a secreted peptide that enhances pneumococcal attachment to epithelial cells by regulating hyaluronic acid processing through the HA locus.

Function of BriC Peptide in the Pneumococcal Competence and Virulence Portfolio

S. D. Aggarwal, R. Eutsey, J. West-Roberts, A. Domenech, W. Xu, I. T. Abdullah, A. P. Mitchell, J.-W. Veening, H. Yesilkaya, N. L. Hiller

This study identifies BriC as a competence-induced gene in Streptococcus pneumoniae that promotes biofilm development and colonization, with its expression regulated by the ComE master regulator and showing genomic plasticity in some isolates.
