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

Gram-positive toxic shock syndromes
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2009Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an acute, multi-system, toxin-mediated illness, often resulting in multi-organ failure. It represents the most fulminant expression of a spectrum of diseases caused by toxin-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus).
