Streptococcus pneumoniae respiratory tract infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2001This review describes recent contributions to our understanding of pneumococcal pneumonia. Two genes have been described that encode enzymes involved with the biosynthesis of muropeptides. These enzymes may be novel antibiotic targets. The clinical impact of increasing antibiotic resistance on the treatment of pneumonia is the particular focus of the ...

Mechanisms of infection in the respiratory tract
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1981Related to its potential vulnerability the respiratory tract has a very complex and effective defence apparatus. The interaction between these defence mechanisms and certain characteristics of aetiological agents results in a pattern in which initial infections by these agents tend to occur at specific sites in the tract.

Prevention of respiratory tract infection
The American Journal of Medicine, 1984Bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract is initiated by colonization of the upper respiratory tract followed by aspiration of small volumes of contaminated secretions into the lungs. Failure of lung antibacterial defenses results in pneumonia.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1990Although lower respiratory tract infections are frequently diagnosed in a primary care setting, they are still associated with a significant morbidity and mortality, which warrants a careful approach to treatment. Knowledge of the most common cause based on the age of the patient, location where the infection was acquired, and clinical presentation ...

Neonatal respiratory tract infections
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 1993Neonatal respiratory tract infections, in particular pneumonia, can be life-threatening. Lower respiratory tract infections may be acquired before, during, or after birth. Upper respiratory tract infections include otitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, laryngitis, tracheitis and bronchitis.

The epidemiology of respiratory tract infections
Seminars in Respiratory Infections, 2000Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the most common, and potentially most severe, of infections treated by health care practitioners. Lower RTIs along with influenza, are the most common cause of death by infection in the United States. Risk factors for pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections include: extremes of age (very young and ...

Moxifloxacin in respiratory tract infections
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2005Moxifloxacin is a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone that has been shown to be effective against respiratory pathogens, including Gram-positive (Streptococcus pneumoniae), Gram-negative (Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis), and atypical strains (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae), as well as multi-drug resistant S.

Infections of the Respiratory Tract
1988Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a leading cause of death in developing countries. Figures published by UNICEF indicate that 97% of deaths of children less than 1 year old, and 98% of deaths of children aged 1–5 years occur in third world countries, where 75% of the world’s population live.
