Mathematical modelling long-term effects of replacing Prevnar7 with Prevnar13 on invasive pneumococcal diseases in England and Wales [PDF]

, 2012
England and Wales recently replaced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) with its 13-valent equivalent (PCV13), partly based on projections from mathematical models of the long-term impact of such a switch compared to ceasing pneumococcal ...

Adult pneumococcal vaccination – new opportunities

Family Medicine & Primary Care Review, 2023
Pneumococcal infections (Streptococcus pneumoniae) remain a significant epidemiological problem globally. Although an invasive pneumo-coccal disease (IPD), which includes meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia with bacteremia, is the most severe form of ...

Clearance of mixed biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae and methicillin-susceptible/resistant Staphylococcus aureus by antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine and cysteamine

Scientific Reports, 2022
Biofilm-associated infections are of great concern because they are associated with antibiotic resistance and immune evasion. Co-colonization by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae is possible and a threat in clinical practice.

The Health Professional’s View on the Inclusion of Age in the Recommendations for Pneumococcal Vaccination: Results of a Cross-Sectional Survey in France

Geriatrics, 2021
Elderly people are at high risk for pneumococcal infections. However, older age is not an eligibility factor for pneumococcal vaccination in France. Adults with certain co-morbidities or immunocompromised states are eligible for vaccination, which leaves

Fulminant pneumococcal infection [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2014
SummaryFulminant pneumococcal infection is a fatal pneumococcal infection that tends to occur in immunocompromised hosts, such as patients who are asplenic or on immunosuppressant therapy. We experienced a case of a 73-year-old Japanese man with a medical history of coronary stent implantation and catheter ablation for atrial flutter who presented with

Pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2000
The pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection is a complex interplay between pneumococcal virulence determinants and the host immune response. Molecular studies have considerably advanced our knowledge and understanding of the precise structures and functions of the different determinants and their pathogenic roles. This review describes the mechanisms by
