Influenza Virus Infection Decreases Tracheal Mucociliary Velocity and Clearance of Streptococcus Pneumoniae
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 06/16/09
Pittet LA et al. - The results indicate that exposure of the tracheal basement membrane contributes minimally to pneumococcal adherence. Instead, an influenza infection results in decreased tracheal mucociliary velocity and initial clearance of pneumococci, leading to an increased pneumococcal burden as early as two hours after pneumococcal infection.
