The structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are essential for defining the antigenic as well as genetic relationships between CPS serotypes. The four serotypes that comprise CPS serogroup 35 (i.e., types 35F, 35A, 35B, and 35C) are known to cross-react with genetically related type 20, 29, 34, 42, or 47F.The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in the U.S. is Streptococcus pneumoniae. This type of pneumonia can occur on its own or after you've had a cold or the flu. It may affect one part (lobe) of the lung, a condition called lobar pneumonia. Bacteria-like organisms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae also can cause pneumonia.Streptococcus pneumoniae, Invasive Disease (IPD-Invasive Pneumococcal Disease) Overview1,2,5 Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus, is a bacteria that causes an acute infection. Some pneumococcal infections are considered “invasive” when the infection occurs in areas parts of the body that are normally sterile. Infections from Streptococcus pneumoniae tax the healthcare system in the United States and other countries. Scientific advances have been made in the treatment and prevention of pneumococcal infections through antibiotics and licensure of vaccines for both adults and children; however, the last few decades have witnessed the emergence of S. pneumoniae resistance to antibiotics ().Over 100 pneumococcal serotypes, designated by number, have been identified; most pneumococcal disease is caused by 23 of these serotypes.
