Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a commensal bacterium of the upper respiratory tract that can cause serious opportunistic infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, young children, and older adults; it is not a probiotic organism. The indexed research for this entry covers antibiotic resistance, virulence mechanisms, serotyping, and vaccine development, none of which reflects probiotic utility.
