Pneumolysin

Pneumolysin is a virulence factor of the Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.^[1]

It is a pore-forming toxin of 53 kDa composed of 471 amino acids.^[2] It has a range of biological activity, including the ability to lyse^[3] and interfere with the function of cells and soluble molecules of the immune system.^[4]

Released pneumolysin will aid the bacteria during colonization by facilitating adherence to the host,^[5] during invasion by damaging host cells^[6] and during infection by interfering with the host immune response.^[7]

The presence of pneumolysin in sputum,^[8] urine,^[9] CSF^[10] and blood^[11] can be indicative of an S. pneumoniae infection.
