A strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae is no longer able to synthesize its capsule. Its likely outcome is that it will be readily phagocytized upon entering the host.
A recent study has found that a strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae is no longer able to synthesize its capsule. This is a major concern, as this particular strain is known to be highly virulent. Without a capsule, the bacteria will be much more susceptible to phagocytosis by the host's immune cells. This could lead to a more serious infection, and potentially even death. The researchers are urging caution and urging people to get vaccinated against this strain of bacteria.
