Streptococcus pneumoniae: transmission, colonization and . . . S pneumoniae is a leading bacterial cause of a wide range of infections, including otitis media, community-acquired pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis As all of these diseases are ‘dead ends’ in the life cycle of the organism, the bacterial factors that cause invasive diseases must also be adaptive for colonization and or transmission
