Although vaccination with pneumococcal vaccines [PCV7, PCV10, and PCV13 (children) or PPSV23 (adults)] has helped decrease the burden of pneumococcal disease (PD), mortality remains high. Therefore, pathogenesis studies are still key toward our understanding of PD and its control. The introduction of pneumococcal vaccines has also created a niche for vaccine-escape clones. Moreover, the rise of multi-drug resistant clones around the world has also posed a serious threat in recent years. The proposed special issue of Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology highlights many of the recent advances that have been made in pneumococcal pathogenesis, colonization and antibiotic resistance by groups in Latino America, Europe, and the USA.pathogenesismacrophagesco-infectiongene regulationbiofilmdrug resistancemicrobialStreptococcus pneumoniaeGuangchun Baiauth1306121Jorge Eugenio VidalauthBOOK9910261137803321Molecular Pathogenesis of Pneumococcus3028286UNINA
