endowed with a high virulnce potential and is one of the most common etiological agents of respira- tory and life-threatening infections. Dr. Pedro García from our group is one of the invited contributors to the book “Streptococcus pneumoniae: Molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions” (2015; Academic Press; ISBN: 978-0-12-410530-0) that provides a comprehensive overview of our existing knowledge on S. pneumoniae disease pathogenesis.
