Increased Resistance in the Pneumococcus

New England Journal of Medicine, 1971
Microbiologists who are interested in antimicrobial agents and physicians who are called upon to treat patients with bacterial infections have become accustomed to expect resistance to develop or emerge against any newly introduced, highly active and useful antibiotic.

Penicillin-resistant pneumococcus

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1988
Penicillin resistant pneumococci are now described world wide, with increasing recognition of the clinical implications of infection with these strains and the laboratory methods required for their identification. In presenting such a case, we suggest thatin vitro sensitivity testing with oxacillin discs affords the best method for detection of ...

A penicillin-resistant pneumococcus

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1978
STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE has been almost uniformly sensitive to pen!cillin, With minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.05 Fg/m 1 or less. In 1967, the first pariially resistant strain with an MIC of 0.6/~g/ml, was reported from Sydney, Australia. Since then there have been reports of pneumococci having increased resistance to penicillin, with MICs ...

RECURRENCES IN PNEUMOCOCCUS PNEUMONIA

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1934
A survey of the literature has failed to reveal any considerable body of data from which one may draw any conclusions regarding the actual immunity against reinfection that is conferred upon an individual as a result of an attack of pneumonia. It is of interest, therefore, to review certain features of a series of 57 cases with repeated attacks of ...

Pneumococcus Vaccine and Diabetes

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981
To the Editor.— A recent COMMENTARY by James M. Moss, MD (1980;243: 2301), has concluded that "diabetes is not a valid indication for the use of pneumococcus vaccine." I do not believe the data presented in the article are sufficient to warrant this conclusion. Some specific points made in this article deserve attention.
