Insights into pneumococcal pneumonia using lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia patients in The Gambia. [PDF]
We investigated the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia using clinical specimens collected for pneumonia surveillance in The Gambia. Lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs from 31 patients were examined by culture, qPCR, whole genome sequencing ...

Macrolide Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common commensal and an opportunistic pathogen. Suspected pneumococcal upper respiratory infections and pneumonia are often treated with macrolide antibiotics. Macrolides are bacteriostatic antibiotics and inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. The widespread use of macrolides is associated with

Coinfection of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and Streptococcus pneumoniae in multiple cutaneous lesions [PDF]
Key learning points Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common clinical disease caused by all the Leishmania species that are pathogenic to humans. Other bacterial coinfections of Leishmania lesions have been described, but this is the first report of ...

SMC is recruited to oriC by ParB and promotes chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Segregation of replicated chromosomes is an essential process in all organisms. How bacteria, such as the oval-shaped human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, efficiently segregate their chromosomes is poorly understood.

Optimization of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Reaction for Detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotypes in Clinical Nasopharynx Swab Samples [PDF]
Current molecular PCR-based methods for identifying Streptococcus pneumoniae, the primary cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and other invasive diseases, are accurate but require expensive infrastructure and have a long run time, which restricts their use ...

IL-17 can be protective or deleterious in murine pneumococcal pneumonia [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia, and the leading agent of childhood pneumonia deaths worldwide. Nasal colonization is an essential step prior to infection.
