RSV and Rhinovirus asymptomatic infection increased pneumococcal carriage acquisition. Colonisation density was also affected by the virus presence. Also, nasal inflammation was associated with pneumococcal shedding via the nasal route.

Pleased to see our paper published in @cellhostmicrobe. We explored how certain respiratory viruses affect pneumococcal carriage acquisition, combining natural viral infection with experimentally induced pneumococcal carriage.

Nasal colonisation with genetically modified live attenuated Spn was safe and induced protection against recolonisation, suggesting that nasal administration of live attenuated Spn could be an effective strategy for preventing pneumococcal infections.

This suggest that vaccines which induce airway localised memory responses may provide broader long-term protection at the site of infection to allow more efficient shut-down of infection and reduced onward virus transmission.

We found that low airway B & T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is enhanced following infection and vaccination, as opposed to peripheral vaccination alone.
