Classifying Latent Infection States in Complex Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
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.

Assessing pneumococcal meningitis association with viral respiratory infections and antibiotics: insights from statistical and mathematical models

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
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

Invasive pneumococcal infection due to serotype 15A after the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation in Turkey

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Invasive pneumococcal infections among children are a serious public health problem in many countries, including Turkey. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has been included in Turkey's National Immunization Programme since 2009.

Nasopharyngeal Colonization and levofloxacin Susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae among Healthcare Workers in a Teaching Hospital in Tehran, Iran

open access: yesNovelty in Biomedicine, 2020
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

Drug Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) in the Maltese Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The DRSP prevalence rate for the Maltese Islands was investigated. Consecutive samples were obtained, both from adults and children, from September 2000 through April 2002.

The remaining challenges of pneumococcal disease in adults [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2012
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

open access: yesIranian Journal of Microbiology, 2020
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]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...
