🦠 #Pneumococci - the main cause of #pneumonia - damage the lungs in a different way than previously thought. As researchers from #CharitéBerlin have now shown, the bacteria acidify their environment and thus disintegrate the tissue barrier. The findings may open up new therapeutic approaches.

New findings on lung damage caused by pneumococci
Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have gained new insights into how pneumococci cause severe pneumonia. Here, Prof. Andreas C. Hocke, head of the study, answers questions about the research findings.
