The role of pneumolysin in mediating lung damage in a lethal pneumococcal pneumonia murine model
BACKGROUND: Intranasal inoculation of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 serotype 2 causes fatal pneumonia in mice. The cytotoxic and inflammatory properties of pneumolysin (PLY) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia. METHODS: To examine the role of PLY in this experimental mo...
