Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the inhibition ELISA examined the effect of antibiotics on pneumococcal growth, phase change and capsule volume using pneumococcal strains L82016, EF3030, and TIGR4 as a vitro experimental system. Tissue invasion and phase change of pneumococcus infected into epithelial cultured cells was observed using co-culture system.
As a vivo experimental system, Opaque and Transparent type fixed strains were first used and inoculated into the nasopharyngeal cavity of CBA / N mouse to study the establishment in the nasopharynx and the host immune response. Next, 3 strains of the above reference strains were intranasally ingested into Balb / c byj mice, and fixation and phase change corresponding to each anatomical site were examined, and the influence of antimicrobial agents on the phase change was also evaluated.
