Abstract
⺠Host responses elicited by a pathogen affect other microbes including other pathogens. ⺠Effective host responses can be rendered ineffective by co-infection, and vice versa. ⺠H. influenzae enhances PMN clearance of S. pneumoniae colonization but promotes virulence. ⺠Influenza increases pneumococcal carriage levels and risk of invasive disease via IFN. ⺠S. pneumoniae may reduce the risk of S. aureus carriage via adaptive immunity.
