Cystic fibrosis (also known as mucoviscidosis) is a recessive multi-system inherited chronic disease that affects about 70 000 children and adults worldwide. CF is most common among Caucasians. One in 25 Europeans carries one allele for CF. The disease is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across epithelium, which leads to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. The mucus also obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body absorb food.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is also known as pneumococcus and is a significant anaerobic bacterium found in noses and throats of healthy people, children and adults. Currently there are about 90 known pneumococcal types. They are spread from person to person through respiratory droplets of coughts and sneezes (so called „droplet spread”).
Despite the name, pneumococci may cause not only pneumonia – the most common form of community-acquired bacterial form of this disease, but also other more or less serious infections. The bacterium is a common cause of mild illnesses, such as otitis media (middle ear infection) and sinusitis, but it is also known to invade the covering of brain (and cause meningitis) or bloodstream (and cause bacteremia).
