Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a harmless resident of the human nasopharyngeal cavity, and, in general, every individual is likely to be colonized asymptomatically at least once during life. However, under certain conditions, the bacterium can spread to other tissues and organs causing local, non-invasive infections but also lifethreatening, invasive diseases. Pneumococcal carriage and infection is a highly regulated interplay between pathogen- and host-specific factors and the intimate contact of S. pneumoniae with the surface of the nasopharynx is the crucial step in pneumococcal pathogenesis. Pneumococcal adherence to the respiratory epithelium is mediated by surface-exposed adhesins. These adhesins engage host cell recep...
