Effects of Expression of Streptococcus pneumoniae PspC on the Ability of Streptococcus mitis to Evade Complement-Mediated Immunity

Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis are genetically closely related and both frequently colonise the naso-oropharynx, yet S. pneumoniae is a common cause of invasive infections whereas S. mitis is only weakly pathogenic. We hypothesise that sensitivity to innate immunity may underlie th...
