Effect of coinfection with influenza virus and bacteria on host damage

Gac. méd. Méx; 156 (4), 2020
Abstract Background: Influenza virus infection is often complicated by a bacterial infection, with this coinfection causing severe pneumonia. If not timely treated, the disease can cause death. Objective: To demonstrate, in animal models, that coinfection with influenza virus and bacteria that affect t...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with streptococcus pneumoniae in pediatrics: a case series

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe a case series of four (4) patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome due to Streptococcus pneumoniae in a level four complexity institution in the city of Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. Cases description: We describe cases of four patients who presented respiratory symptoms and...

Infecciones invasivas por serotipos no vacunales de Streptococcus pneumoniae: una amenaza creciente

Resumen Introducción: En México, cuando se inició la aplicación de la vacuna PCV13 (neumocócica conjugada), se cubría el 70.6% de los serotipos causantes de enfermedad invasiva por neumococo en menores de 5 años. Después de varios años, los casos de enfermedad causada por los serotipos incluid...

Antimicrobial susceptibility and fluctuations in clonal complexes of serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates collected from children in Beijing, China, between 1997 and 2016

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT This study examined the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and clonal complex (CC) characteristics of serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates collected from children in Beijing, China, between 1997 and 2016. Serotypes were determined using the Quellung reaction, and the antimicrobial su...

Theoretical pneumococcal vaccine coverage: analysis of serotypes isolated from inpatients at a tertiary care hospital

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes isolated from an inpatient population at a tertiary care hospital, in order to determine the theoretical coverage of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). Met...

Enfermedad neumocócica invasiva por serotipo 38, reporte de caso clínico

Bol. Hosp. Viña del Mar; 73 (3), 2017
La enfermedad neumocócica invasiva (ENI) es causa de morbimortalidad prevenible en pediatría. Con la introducción de vacunas antineumocócicas conjugadas disminuyó la prevalencia de ENI en 61,9% en los menores de 2 años, y se produjo un cambio en la distribución de serotipos y un aumento de ENI por...

Serotype changes and antimicrobial nonsusceptibility rates of invasive and non-invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates after implementation of 10-valent pneumococcal nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) in Bulgaria

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (4), 2017
Abstract The 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) has been included in Bulgarian Childhood Immunization Program since 2010. This study aimed to assess serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of 198 invasive and non-invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae strains that had been isolated in...

The virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae partially depends on dprA

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most frequent opportunistic pathogens worldwide. DNA processing protein A (DprA) is an important factor involved in bacterial uptake and DNA integration into bacterial genome, but its role in S. pneumoniae virulence remains unclear. The aim of this study wa...

Bacteriemia oculta en niños atendidos en el Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río: experiencia post vacuna neumocóccica conjugada

Rev. chil. infectol; 34 (2), 2017
Background: Occult bacteremia (OB) is one of the possible diagnoses of children younger than 3 years with fever without source in the emergency room. Objective: describe OB in the era after introduction of pneumococcal vaccine in Chile. Patients and Methods: Prospective descriptive review of data of chil...
