  "summary": "Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) are asymptomatic colonizers of the nasopharynx but can progress to pulmonary and systemic pathogens upon influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) are required to control bacterial numbers, but we previously found that IAV infection impairs their ability to kill S. pneumoniae. Here, using a model that allows transition of pneumococci…",
