Gram-positive pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Of the gram-positive pathogens that cause pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus are the most common. The diagnosis of gram-positive pneumonia remains less than satisfactory, and newer diagnostic techniques such as antibody- and polymerase

Human Pathology, 1976
Recent changes in taxonomy of the gram positive cocci are discussed. Views on these changes and practical methods of differentiating the staphylococci, micrococci, streptococci, and aerococci are presented. Simplified schemes, using acceptable clinical laboratory techniques, are presented that either differentiate or categorize the pathologically ...

Resistant gram-positive organisms
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1994Antimicrobial resistance in Gram-positive bacteria has reemerged in the last decade as a major clinical problem. Methicillin-resistant staphylococci, penicillin-resistant pneumococci, and enterococci resistant to penicillin, vancomycin, and/or gentamicin have become new considerations in the selection of therapy.

Miscellaneous gram-positive organisms
2008The pediococci are gram-positive bacteria that grow in pairs and tetrads and belong to the lactic acid bacteria group. They are used extensively in industry to ferment cheese and other dairy products, soy products, and alcoholic beverages, and they are normal inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract.

Bacillus cereus, best known for causing mild food poisoning, has been recognized as a cause of life-threatening infection in the immunocompromised host.1 It most commonly presents in a neutropenic patient as a single vesicle, pustule, or bulla on a digit or extremities with rapidly spreading cellulitis during the spring and summer.2,3 The bulla may ...

The pneumococcus Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly grows in pairs (diplococci) but also can grow in short chains. An outer polysaccharide capsule protects the organism against phagocytosis, and pneumococcal virulence is related to the composition and size of the capsule (1). There are 90 known capsular types.

Bloodstream infections (BSI) represent serious complications for hematologic patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy treatments. Changes in the etiology of BSI have recently been described: Gram-positive bacteria still predominate, although a shift toward Gram-negative infecting organisms has been reported in many studies.

New anti–Gram-positive agents
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2001As the prevalence of resistant Gram-positive organisms in the critical care unit has increased, so have the associated morbidity and mortality and the cost of their treatment. As a result, more toxic and less active second-line agents and combinations of agents are used, often with limited evidence of clinical benefit. Although widely used, the role of
