Evaluation of Immulex S. pneumoniae Omni test for the direct detection of S. pneumoniae from positive blood cultures. [PDF]
Rapid and early identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae from positive blood cultures is crucial for the management of patients with bloodstream infections (BSI). Many identification systems in microbiology laboratories have difficulty differentiating S. pneumoniae from other closely related species in the Streptococcus mitis group.

Cell surface proteins in S. pneumoniae, S. mitis and S. oralis
Background and objectives: Streptococcus pneumoniae, a major human pathogen, is closely related to the commensal species S. mitis and S. oralis. S. pneumoniae surface proteins are implicated in virulence and host interaction of this species, but many of ...

Muscle weakness in a S. pneumoniae sepsis mouse model. [PDF]
The pathophysiology of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), which affects peripheral nerves, limb muscles and respiratory muscles, is complex and incompletely understood. This illustrates the need for an ICU-AW animal model. However, a translatable and easily applicable ICU-AW animal model does not exist.
