Exploring metal availability in the natural niche of Streptococcus pneumoniae to discover potential vaccine antigens

Nasopharyngeal colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae is a prerequisite for pneumococcal transmission and disease. Current vaccines protect only against disease and colonization caused by a limited number of serotypes, consequently allowing serotype replacement and transmission. Therefore, the dev...
