Influenza A virus co-infection alters Streptococcus pneumoniae gene expression during upper respiratory tract colonization

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract (URT), a niche from which it can transmit to another host or cause invasive disease in the same host. The in vivo transcriptional adaptations that Spn undergoes during nasopharyngeal colonization, particularly during influenz...
