Naturally-occurring serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains that lack functional pneumolysin and autolysin have attenuated virulence but induce localized protective immune responses

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of fatal pneumonia in humans. These bacteria express virulence factors, such as the toxins pneumolysin and autolysin, that drive host inflammatory responses. In this study we confirm loss of pneumolysin and autolysin function in a group of clonal pneumo...
