摘要: The antiphagocytic polysaccharide capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae has long been considered the principal virulence determinant this organism. However, there is growing evidence that toxin pneumolysin plays an important role in pathogenesis pneumococcal disease and may thus be a significant additional target for vaccine development.
