Epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2012The epidemiology of S. pneumoniae invasive infections in France, over the last few years, was modified by two public health measures. A nationwide campaign for the rationalization of antibiotic prescription was implemented in 2001 and vaccination of young children with the pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine in 2003.

Publisher Summary Streptococcus pneumoniae (Strep. pneumoniae) is Gram-positive and encapsulated. It is now recognized as a major human pathogen in infancy, childhood, and adult life. Strep. pneumoniae is capable of causing both non-invasive diseases such as otitis media, and invasive infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.

Neonatal Infections with Streptococcus pneumoniae
Archives Internationales de Physiologie, 1985Three cases of neonatal Streptococcus pneumoniae infections acquired during delivery are described. The cases resembled clinically group B streptococcal infections, presenting either as an early septic-pneumonic type, or as a milder disease.

Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae
2009Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) has been an important human pathogen for over 100 years and continues to cause a wide variety of infections, ranging from mild otitis media and sinusitis to serious lower respiratory infections, as well as life-threatening invasive infections such as meningitis or pneumonia. Worldwide, morbidity and mortality

Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia in children
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2007Occult bacteraemia is the most frequent invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in children less than 3 years of age. Despite the relative frequency of this infection, its management is still a challenging task for paediatricians because fever is often the only symptom and a considerable overlap exists in the clinical presentation of ...

An unexpected Streptococcus pneumoniae strain
Journal of Chemotherapy, 2013This clinical driven report describes the unexpected detection of a multidrug resistant (MDR) Streptococcus pneumoniae strain. Italy is usually considered a country characterized by a low prevalence of MDR S. pneumoniae. We describe the occurrence of bacterial meningitis sustained by a MDR S. pneumoniae strain in Italy.

Streptococcus pneumoniae and Autoimmunity
The genus Streptococcus includes 49 species, 35 of which have been identified as a cause of infections in humans. Species of Streptococcus are divided into groups based on the antigenic structure of the cell wall alongside polysaccharides, which is known as the Lancefield antigen classification.Alghory, Amal +5 more

Proteomanalyse von Streptococcus pneumoniae
2005In this work, the proteome of the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae was analyzed and used for comparative proteome studies. In addition, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for the proteome analysis was established. The proteome was divided into three less complex subproteomes – cytoplasmic proteins, membrane-associated proteins and the secretome.
