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. 610 $abiofilm 610 $aco-infection 610 $adrug resistance 610 $agene regulation 610 $amacrophages 610 $amicrobial 610 $apathogenesis 610 $aStreptococcus pneumoniae 700 $aGuangchun Bai$4auth$01306121 702 $aJorge Eugenio Vidal$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910261137803321 996 $aMolecular Pathogenesis of Pneumococcus$93028286 997 $aUNINA
