A soluble host signal drives rapid, brain-predominant capsular thickening in Streptococcus pneumoniae via a putative sodium-dependent transporter (SPD_0642) and capsular prepromoter sequence

Никола Томов, Sabrina Hupp, Annelies Müller…·Asparouh I. Iliev

This paper identifies a host-derived signal that induces rapid, tissue-specific capsule thickening in Streptococcus pneumoniae, independent of phase variation, and shows two genetic determinants involved in this process.

Evidence of virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 16F lineages

Jolynne Mokaya, Kate C. Mellor, Gemma G. R. Murray…·Felix Sizwe Dube

This study characterizes serotype 16F Streptococcus pneumoniae lineages and antimicrobial resistance in South African infants and globally, finding associations with disease and resistance.
