Animal Models of Pneumococcal pneumonia [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most common bacterial pathogen causing lower respiratory tract infections and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in children and the elderly. Another important aspect related to pneumococcal infections is the persistent rate of penicillin and macrolide resistance.

Systematic review on serotypes distribution of pneumococcal pneumonia in adults and the elderly [PDF]

BMC Public Health
Background Pneumococcal pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among adults, especially those over 65 years of age. Understanding pneumococcal serotype-specific epidemiology in adults and elderly is necessary to inform vaccination policies

Detection of Pneumococcal DNA in Blood by Polymerase Chain Reaction for Diagnosing Pneumococcal Pneumonia in Young Children From Low- and Middle-Income Countries [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background. We investigated the performance of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on blood in the diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia among children from 7 low- and middle-income countries. Methods. We tested blood by PCR for the pneumococcal autolysin gene
