These clinical infections primarily involve the respiratory tract, central nervous system, and bloodstream, presenting most commonly as community-acquired pneumonia, acute otitis media, bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis

Pathophysiology is driven by the pathogen's polysaccharide capsule, which inhibits phagocytosis and facilitates invasion into sterile sites, triggering severe localized and systemic inflammation
