Novel Role for the Streptococcus pneumoniae Toxin Pneumolysin in the Assembly of Biofilms
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important commensal and pathogen responsible for almost a million deaths annually in children under five. The formation of biofilms by S. pneumoniae is important in nasopharyngeal colonization, pneumonia, and otitis media. Pneumolysin (Ply) is a toxin that contributes...
