Classifying Latent Infection States in Complex Networks [PDF]
Algorithms for identifying the infection states of nodes in a network are crucial for understanding and containing infections. Often, however, only a relatively small set of nodes have a known infection state. Moreover, the length of time that each node has been infected is also unknown.

Pneumococcus is an important human pathogen, highly antibiotic resistant and a major cause of bacterial meningitis worldwide. Better prevention requires understanding the drivers of pneumococcal infection incidence and antibiotic susceptibility. Although

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly asymptomatically colonizes the human upper respiratory tract and the carriage rate varies between geographical regions. The colonized individuals are not only at risk of infections but also can be a source of

The remaining challenges of pneumococcal disease in adults [PDF]
Pneumococcal disease can be divided into invasive disease, i.e. when bacteria are detected in normally sterile body fluids, and noninvasive disease. Pneumococcal disease occurs more frequently in younger children and older adults.

Psp140: an immunodominant antigen in the supernatant of Streptococcus pneumoniae culture
Background and Objectives: Streptococcus pneumoniae causes many lethal infections. Due to its reduced sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics, development of new strategies against pneumococcal infections seems to be necessary.

Numerical considerations about the SIR epidemic model with infection age [PDF]
We analyse the infection-age-dependent SIR model from a numerical point of view. First, we present an algorithm for calculating the solution the infection-age-structured SIR model without demography of the background host. Second, we examine how and under which conditions, the conventional SIR model (without infection-age) serves as a practical ...

Isolation site influences virulence phenotype of serotype 14 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains belonging to multilocus sequence type 15 [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a diverse species causing invasive as well as localized infections that result in massive global morbidity and mortality. Strains vary markedly in pathogenic potential, but the molecular basis is obscured by the diversity and ...
