Description:

Microbiology-Immunology Seminar Series

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract. Its success as a leading respiratory tract pathogen is due to its ability to take advantage of the inflammatory responses it induces for its growth and transmission. A medically important example of these events is seen during co-infection with influenza virus. This seminar will discuss the mechanisms allowing the pneumococcus to subvert inflammatory responses during influenza A co-infection.
