DOI: 10.1099/mgen.0.000837
Abstract: Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally and in Cambodia. It is commensal in the human nasopharynx, occasionally resulting in invasive disease. Monitoring population genetic shifts, characterized by lineage and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/mic.0.001305
Abstract: Colonization of mucosal tissues by Neisseria meningitidis requires adhesion mediated by the type IV pilus and multiple outer-membrane proteins. Penetration of the mucosa and invasion of epithelial cells are thought to contribute to host persistence… read more here.
