Studies on the role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the effects of interferon gamma on sensitivity of phagocytes to the toxin pneumolyin
The major point of the study was into how the penumococcus copes with reactive derivatives of oxygen. Superoxide dismutase is one of the enzymes that provides protection against deleterious effects of superoxide radical by conversion of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. In this s...
