Pneumolysin as a target for new therapies against pneumococcal infections: A systematic review
<h4>Background</h4> This systematic review evaluates pneumolysin (PLY) as a target for new treatments against pneumococcal infections. Pneumolysin is one of the main virulence factors produced by all types of pneumococci. This toxin (53 kDa) is a highly conserved protein that binds to ch...
