Meningitis-associated pneumococcal serotype 8, st 53, strain is hypervirulent in a rat model and has non-haemolytic pneumolysin which can be attenuated by liposomes

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Annelies Mu00fcller and colleagues from the Karolinska Institutet (KI), Sweden University of Adelaide, Australia have published the article: Meningitis-associated pneumococcal serotype 8, ST 53, strain is hypervirulent in a rat model and has non-haemolytic pneumolysin which can be attenuated by liposomes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Possible mechanisms causing the hypervirulence of the serotype 8 isolate Having concluded from the results above that the serotype 8 isolate was particularly virulent, next the authors aimed to uncover the possible mechanisms of its hypervirulence. The authors propose that this will promote bacterial proliferation and . . .
