Neuraminidase-mediated enhancement of Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization is associated with altered mucus characteristics and distribution by Matthew T. Montgomery, Mila Ortigoza, Cynthia Loomis, Jeffrey N. Weiser

“…The magnitude of the NA-mediated effect on colonization was widened during late colonization by increased evasion of host-mediated clearance mechanisms. Thus, Spn-encoded NAs directly modify the host environment by desialylating mucus, which allows close interaction with mucus at the epithelium, and this is associated with enhanced bacterial colonization.IMPORTANCEAlthough severe illness and death caused by Spn result from secondary invasive diseases including pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis, stable colonization of the upper respiratory tract (URT) is a prerequisite to invasive disease. …”
