Pathogenesis of Pneumococcal Infection
Abstract
The study of Streptococcus pneumoniae has led to many insights into the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. The importance of the polysaccharide capsule of the organism in determining its virulence was indicated by studies of the protective role of anticapsular antibodies.13 Of comparable importance was the observation that noncapsulated pneumococci caused progressive disease in rabbits with agranulocytosis, demonstrating thereby the pathogenic properties of the pneumococcal soma.4 Investigation of the pathologic events in pneumococcal infection led to the discovery of DNA,2,3 the development of the first bacterial polysaccharide vaccine,5 and insights into the mechanism of action of penicillin,6 antibiotic tolerance, . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
