Figure 1

Virulence factors of S. pneumoniae. The figure is adapted with modification from Van der Poll T, Opal SM. Pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of pneumococcal pneumonia. Lancet 2009;374(9700):1543-56. S. pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae.PsA = pneumococcal surface antigen A. PiaA/PiuA = pneumococcal iron acquisition and uptake. PspR = pneumococcal serine-rich repeat protein. PavA = pneumococcal adhesion and virulence. LTA = lipoteichoic acid.

Figure 2

Mechanism of pneumococcal colonization in the respiratory tract. The figure is adapted with modification from Wyllie AL, Rümke LW, Arp K, Bosch AA, Bruin JP, Rots NY, et al. Molecular surveillance on Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage in non-elderly adults; little evidence for pneumococcal circulation independent from the reservoir in children. Sci Rep 2016;6:34888.
