Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

THE OCCURRENCE OF CARRIERS OF DISEASE-PRODUCING TYPES OF PNEUMOCOCCUS

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1915
Lobar pneumonia in 75 per cent of instances is due to specific types of pneumococci possessed of a high degree of pathogenicity. Although pneumococci occur in the mouths of 60 per cent of normal individuals, such organisms are readily distinguishable ...

Proposal of a Vaccination Needs Index to Prioritise Municipal Interventions in Brazil

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Addressing population health needs requires integrating indicators expressed on non‐comparable scales, particularly for vaccination, a cornerstone of public health. Objective To propose and implement a Vaccination Needs Index based on national administrative data on tracer vaccines for children to support the prioritisation of Brazilian ...

Cysteine-mediated gene expression and characterization of the CmbR regulon in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic response of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 to cysteine. Transcriptome comparison of the D39 wild-type strain grown at a restricted concentration of cysteine (0.03 mM) to one grown at a high concentration of

Identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae by a real-time PCR assay targeting SP2020. [PDF]

, 2019
Real-time PCR targeting lytA (the major autolysin gene) and piaB (permease gene of the pia ABC transporter) are currently used as the gold-standard culture-independent assays for Streptococcus pneumoniae identification.

EXPERIMENTAL INTRADERMAL PNEUMOCOCCUS INFECTION IN RABBITS

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1928
1. The intradermal inoculation of rabbits with Type I pneumococci gives rise to a local lesion and a definite sequence of other events that offer many analogies to pneumococcus lobar pneumonia, and for this reason the condition is being employed for a ...
