Corynebacteria from the respiratory microbiota modulate inflammatory responses and associate with a reduced pneumococcal burden in the lungs by Caroline Bergenfelz, Phuong Do, Liv Larsson, Hanna Ivarsson, Kasper Malmborn, Anders P. Håkansson

“…This indicates that the presence of C. propinquum or C. pseudodiphtheriticum may protect against severe pneumococcal infections.ConclusionsIn this study, we delineate the role of Corynebacteria from the normal microbiota that epidemiologically associate with respiratory health. We show that the presence of Corynebacteria modulates the inflammatory response to pneumococci and associate with faster decrease in pneumococcal burden, primarily in the lower respiratory tract. …”
