Respiratory tract barrier dysfunction in viral-bacterial co-infection cases
A preceding viral infection of the respiratory tract predisposes the host to secondary bacterial pneumonia, known as a major cause of morbidity and mortality. However, the underlying mechanism of the viral-bacterial synergy that leads to disease progression has remained elusive, thus hampering the p...
