AB  - Streptococcus  pneumoniae  (i.e.,  pneumococcus)  was  independently  isolated  in  American  and  French  laboratories  in  the  early  1880s.1,2  It  was  one  of  the  first  bacteria  to  be  observed  using  Gram  stain,  and  advances  in  microscopic  techniques  allowed  it  to  become  established  as  a  cause  of  pneumonia,  meningitis,  and  otitis  media  by  the  end  of  the  nineteenth  century.1  During  the  1918  Flu  Pandemic,  secondary  bacterial  infections—predominantly  pneumococcal,  contributed  to  a  high  infectious  disease-related  mortality  rate.3
