"Pneumococcus" refers to a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae that can cause pneumonia, a lung infection.
Full definition
They had shown that it does a terrific job of blocking infection by
pneumococcus bacteria, the cause of pneumonia, and that breast - fed children suffer significantly fewer ear and upper respiratory tract infections than babies who don't nurse.
Genomic analyses
of pneumococci from children with sickle cell disease expose host - specific bacterial adaptations and deficits in current interventions.
Microorganisms can be viruses (such as the measles virus) or they can be bacteria (such
as pneumococcus).
Furthermore, recent research had shown that influenza interferes with innate immunity in a way that
enables pneumococci to flourish.
In the study, the investigators infected mice with either influenza alone,
pneumococci alone, or both at once, and then monitored the populations of bacteria and virus over time.
Among the Aboriginal children of Central Australia, researchers have found extraordinarily high rates of pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis, all severe complications of infection
with Pneumococcus bacteria.
The majority of resistant strains
of pneumococcus are of types which are included in the vaccine, for this reason, vaccine introduction in South Africa, has led to a substantial decline in antibiotic resistant invasive pneumococcal disease,» said Dr Cheryl Cohen, co-author of the paper, Clinical Epidemiologist at the NICD and senior lecturer in the School of Public Health at Wits.
The funds will be used to purchase qualifying vaccines
against pneumococcus, a pneumonia bug that kills more children in poor countries than any other preventable infection
But scientific and economic obstacles have stymied the development of effective vaccines against many of the developing world's most deadly diseases, such as malaria and HIV as well
as pneumococcus, the leading vaccine - preventable killer of children under the age of five.
«Lung cancer, throat cancer, kidney cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, and
pneumococcus bacteria too.»
The most common strain of bacteria that causes meningitis in infants and young children in the U.S. is called Streptococcus pneumoniae or
pneumococcus.
There are factors in human milk that destroy E coli, salmonella, shigella, streptococcus,
pneumococcus... and many others
Ubiquitous pathogens such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and
Pneumococcus, which among them cause ear, nose, and throat infections, scarlet fever, meningitis, and pneumonia, are becoming widely resistant.
As Scientific American reported earlier this month, officials from Italy, the U.K., Canada, Norway and Russia met in Rome on February 9, where they announced that their governments would commit the funds for vaccines against
pneumococcus, which causes pneumonia and meningitis that kill up to a million children every year.
The success or failure of
the pneumococcus AMC could determine whether similar programs should be created to hurry drugs for other diseases to needy populations.
For the near term, groups known as accelerated development and introduction plans (ADIPs) have studied the possibility of more rapidly introducing new vaccines for rotavirus, a common diarrheal disease, and
pneumococcus, a bacterium that causes pneumonia.
Winter respiratory and diarrheal diseases in infants and young children are often due to infections caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (
the pneumococcus) and the rotavirus, respectively.
New vaccines against
pneumococcus (pneumococcal conjugate vaccines [PCVs]-RRB- and against rotavirus were recently introduced and each showed great impact on the disease it was addressed to reduce.
One of the deadliest living things on Earth is
the pneumococcus bacterium.
High concentrations of Ab at birth were associated with lower postimmunization titers for tetanus and
pneumococcus, but this association was not observed with H. influenzae type B or pertussis.
Her work focuses on the characterization of candidate vaccines for tuberculosis, leishmaniasis,
pneumococcus, malaria and chlamydia.
A team of researchers led by professor Marco Oggioni from the University of Leicester's Department of Genetics and Genome Biology has found that shortly after initial infection, the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (
pneumococcus) replicates within a certain subset of immune cells in our bodies — a subset of splenic macrophages — before causing invasive and often fatal disease.
Our vision is a world where the burden caused by infectious diseases endemic in developing countries, such as malaria, dengue fever and
pneumococcus, is substantially reduced through effective monitoring, control and, eventually, elimination.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (also known as
pneumococcus) is often responsible.
If you have Medicare, make sure you get your free annual flu shot and vaccines for hepatitis B and
pneumococcus, a common cause of pneumonia.
Some diseases which were becoming resistant were various strains of
Pneumococcus, Tuberculosis and Gonorrhea to mention a few.
Usually, the infection is a mucus bacteria, such as haemophilus,
pneumococcus, stphylococcus, or streptococcus.
Which you imagine to be so because, ipso facto, it must be there because there are these symptoms which we can identify because there is a campaign of programming by an alienating parent and that's how we differentiate them from otherwise explainable behavior... and we know there's a campaign by an alienating parent because there are these symptoms there... Gee... not exactly comparable to testing for the presence of
the pneumococci bacteria, or a defective chromosome.
