Coming soonPneumococcal infection refers to any spectrum of illness caused by the gram-positive bacterium *Streptococcus pneumoniae*.
It encompasses noninvasive mucosal diseases such as otitis media and acute sinusitis, as well as severe, invasive manifestations including lobar pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis.
Pathogenesis typically initiates with asymptomatic nasopharyngeal colonization followed by local tissue invasion or hematogenous dissemination, facilitated by virulence factors such as an antiphagocytic polysaccharide capsule and pneumolysin.
While the pathogen can affect individuals of all ages, invasive and life-threatening infections occur disproportionately among infants and children under five years of age, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals.
