Corynebacterium accolens: Possible inhibitor of Streptococcus pneumoniae
The presence of a harmless bacteria, Corynebacterium accolens, may inhibit the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a pathogen that causes otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia and meningitis.
Future studies might be conducted to determine whether C. accolens could be used to control colonisation of S. pneumoniae.
