Pneumonia and meningitis - how does viral infection make them worse?
Having discovered the effect of the respiratory syncytial virus on pneumococcus bacteria, this project will investigate how the virus causes them to produce toxins that lead to infection and will seek to uncover further information about how the viral infection causes the bacteria to become more dangerous.
