Respiratory tissue-associated commensal bacteria offer therapeutic potential against pneumococcal colonization

Respiratory tissue-associated commensal bacteria offer therapeutic potential against pneumococcal colonization

Under eubiotic conditions commensal microbes are known to provide a competitive barrier against invading bacterial pathogens in the intestinal tract, on the skin or on the vaginal mucosa. Here, we evaluate the role of lung microbiota in Pneumococcus colonization of the lungs. In eubiosis, the lungs...
