Mannose receptor‐derived peptides neutralize pore‐forming toxins and reduce inflammation and development of pneumococcal disease

Abstract Cholesterol‐dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are essential virulence factors for many human pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumolysin, PLY), Streptococcus pyogenes (streptolysin O, SLO), and Listeria monocytogenes (Listeriolysin, LLO) and induce cytolysis and inflammation. Recently, w...
