The pneumococcal response to oxidative stress includes a role for Rgg [PDF]

, 2009
Streptococcus pneumoniae resides in the oxygen-rich environment of the upper respiratory tract, and therefore the ability to survive in the presence of oxygen is an important aspect of its in vivo survival. To investigate how S.

Drug-ResistantStreptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 1996
To the Editor: since the first description of infection caused by β-lactam-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, the optimal empirical antibiotic therapy for patients with suspected meningitis caused by this microorganism has remained unknown. Hofmann et al. (Aug. 24 issue)1 reported a 25 percent prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.

Elexacaftor–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor Improves Sinonasal Outcomes in Young Children With Cystic Fibrosis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Severe chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a near universal manifestation of cystic fibrosis. Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is an oral, small molecule, highly effective Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) corrector–potentiator drug.

Pneumococcal Meningitis Complicated by Cerebral Vasculitis, Abscess, Hydrocephalus, and Hearing Loss

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2018
Intracranial abscesses, postinfectious vasculitis, and hydrocephalus are rare complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) meningitis, and to our knowledge, there have been no case reports where all these 3 complications occurred in a single

Sensing of streptococcus mutans by microscopic imaging ellipsometry [PDF]

, 2017
Microscopic Imaging Ellipsometry is an optical technique that uses an objective and sensing procedure to measure the ellipsometric parameters {\Psi} and {\Delta} in the form of microscopic maps. This technique is well known for being non-invasive and label-free.

The Cell Wall ofStreptococcus pneumoniae

Microbiology Spectrum, 2019
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae has a complex cell wall that plays key roles in cell shape maintenance, growth and cell division, and interactions with components of the human host. The peptidoglycan has a heterogeneous composition with more than 50 subunits (muropeptides)—products of several peptidoglycan-modifying

Heparin‐Binding Protein in Cerebrospinal Fluid as a Biomarker for Bacterial Meningitis: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of heparin‐binding protein (HBP) in cerebrospinal fluid for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis in patients with a suspected central nervous system infection. Methods This prospective multicenter cohort study determined the diagnostic accuracy of HBP in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for bacterial ...

Patterns of volatile organic compounds in excrements of preterm neonates

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background As neonates are susceptible for many diseases, establishing noninvasive diagnostic methods is desirable. We hypothesized that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could be successfully measured in diaper samples. Methods We performed a feasibility study to investigate whether ambient air‐independent headspace measurements of the VOC ...

A Pangenome Approach for Discerning Species-Unique Gene Markers for Identifications of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Correct identifications of isolates and strains of the Mitis-Group of the genus Streptococcus are particularly difficult, due to high genetic similarity, resulting from horizontal gene transfer and homologous recombination, and unreliable phenotypic and ...

Pneumonia Detection in Chest X-Ray Images : Handling Class Imbalance [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
People all over the globe are affected by pneumonia but deaths due to it are highest in Sub-Saharan Asia and South Asia. In recent years, the overall incidence and mortality rate of pneumonia regardless of the utilization of effective vaccines and compelling antibiotics has escalated.
