Project Summary
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes over 150,000 hospitalizations annually in the U.S., with a mortality rate of 5-
7%, making the disease both a significant health and financial burden. A key virulence factor during S. pneumoniae
infection is pneumolysin (PLY), a cholesterol dependent cytolysin (CDC) that causes ion flux in host cells…
