Hypervirulent pneumococci display high levels of nasopharyngeal shedding and rapid onward transmission

M. Baltazar, T. Audshasai, L. C. Jacques, M. Yang, A. Kadioglu

This study compares the transmission dynamics of hypervirulent serotype 1 ST217 and serotype 2 D39 pneumococci in mice, showing ST217 has higher shedding and faster transmission, especially during co-infection with influenza.

Streptococcus pneumoniae rapidly translocates from the nasopharynx through the cribriform plate to invade and inflame the dura

T. Audshasai, J. A. Coles, S. Panagiotou, S. Khandaker, H. E. Scales, M. Kjos, M. Baltazar, J. Vignau, J. M. Brewer, A. Kadioglu, M. Yang

This study shows Streptococcus pneumoniae rapidly translocates from the nose through the cribriform plate to the meninges without entering the bloodstream.

Streptolysin production and activity is central to in vivo pathotype and disease outcome in GAS infections

J. Clarke, M. Baltazar, M. Alsahag, S. Panagiotou, M. Pouget, W. A. Paxton, G. Pollakis, D. Everett, N. French, A. Kadioglu

This study shows that streptolysin O (SLO) production and activity determine the pathotype and disease outcome in Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections, with implications for therapeutic strategies.
