The pathogenicity of many bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, depends on pore-forming toxins (PFTs) that cause host cell lysis by forming large pores in cholesterol-containing cell membranes. Therefore, PFTs-neutralising antibodies may provide useful tools for reducing S. pneumoniae pathogenic effects. This
