A CONTRIBUTION TO THE PHYSIOLOGICAL DIFFERENTIATION OF PNEUMOCOCCUS AND STREPTOCOCCUS, AND TO METHODS OF STAINING CAPSULES

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1905
By morphological examination and with current cultural methods a clear differentiation cannot always be made between pneumococci and streptococci. The chief differential character usually depended upon is the capsule of the pneumococcus.

Predicting optimal impact interventions in the post‐HPV vaccination world

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Prophylactic vaccination is a powerful tool that changes exposure to infections and associated morbidity of preventable diseases. We discuss the impact of pneumococci and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on the population biology of the two micro‐organisms and related public health effects.

Epithelial cell–derived secreted and transmembrane 1a signals to activated neutrophils during pneumococcal pneumonia [PDF]

, 2016
Airway epithelial cell responses are critical to the outcome of lung infection. In this study, we aimed to identify unique contributions of epithelial cells during lung infection.

Clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of children with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia: A national retrospective study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a very rare disease responsible for protein‐losing enteropathy. There is little published data about treatments efficacy and outcomes. Our main objective was to describe the clinical profile, response to therapy, and outcomes of children with PIL.

Variation at the capsule locus, cps, of mistyped and non-typable Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates [PDF]

, 2012
The capsule polysaccharide locus (cps) is the site of the capsule biosynthesis gene cluster in encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae. A set of pneumococcal samples and non-pneumococcal streptococci from Denmark, the Gambia, the Netherlands, Thailand, the

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON PNEUMOCOCCUS INFECTIONS

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1909
1. Phagocytosis of pneumococci in vitro runs parallel with phagocytosis in vivo. 2. Virulence depends not only on resistance to phagocytosis, but also on the ability to grow in the body of the animal. 3.

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development

Small, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Estimating the burden of pneumococcal pneumonia among adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic techniques [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Pneumococcal pneumonia causes significant morbidity and mortality among adults. Given limitations of diagnostic tests for non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, most studies report the incidence of bacteremic or invasive pneumococcal disease (

ANAPHYLAXIS WITH THE TYPE-SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATES OF PNEUMOCOCCUS

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1929
1. The type-specific carbohydrates (haptens) of Pneumococcus Types I, II and III, when isolated in protein-free form, are devoid of the property of inducing active anaphylactic sensitization in guinea pigs. 2. The bacterial carbohydrates of Pneumococcus,

The Political Economy of Patent Buyouts

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incentivizing innovation through buyouts may alleviate the social costs associated with patent power, but the political economy and feasibility of this potentially important financing mechanism have been understudied. We study an international setting of countries with different innovation and financing capabilities, and where financing ...
