Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes life-threatening diseases including pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis but also non-invasive local infections such as otitis media. Pneumococci have evolved versatile strategies to colonize the upper respiratory tract (URT) of humans. Binding to epithelial surfaces is thereby mediated through direct interactions with host cell receptors or indirectly via binding to components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, successful colonization and subsequent infection require S. pneumoniae to cross tissue barriers protected by the immune system of the host. Pneumococci have therefore evolved a wide range of mechanisms to circumvent the antibacterial activit...
