Can you please tell me the immune response of the body to group a streptococcus?

Strep. pneumoniae: S. Pneumo is a bacteria that causes the most ear and sinus infections. Some persons who have frequent infections of the ear and sinus (as well as pneumonia) lack antibody protection against this organism and most can be helped with a "pneumonia shot" .Lab evaluations for 14 serotypes of s. Pneumo. Can be drawn by any physician to check for this problem.
