ABSTRACT:
Since
its discovery in 1891, the pneumococcus has been one of the most extensively studied
microbes, and was involved in several historical findings such as the discovery

but can on occasions progress to sterile sites of the body and cause invasive diseases.
There are about one million new invasive pneumococcal infections every year, majority
of which occur in the developing world where children
