Researchers have found a further reason for the severity of dual infection by influenza and Streptococcus pneumonia -- a new virulence mechanism for a surface protein on the pneumonia-causing bacteria ...
Background. The epidemiology of streptococcal infection in pregnant and postpartum women is poorly described in recent literature. We used data from multistate surveillance for invasive Streptococcus ...
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigate the effect of colonization of the upper respiratory tract (URT) by Streptococcus pneumoniae on severe acute ...
Researchers have uncovered a crucial link between dietary zinc intake and protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae, the primary bacterial cause of pneumonia. Globally, it is estimated that nearly ...
To understand how this pathogen adapts to different locations in the body, and also how the host responds to the invading microbe, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the ...
ECTOR COUNTY, Texas — The Ector County Health Department said Tuesday that a local child younger than 5 has died from complications caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, marking the county’s first ...
Bacterial colonization in the upper respiratory tract is considered to be one of the major risk factors of COVID-19. In this context, studies have shown that the co-occurrence of invasive pneumococcal ...
Aim: Streptococcus pneumoniae continues to be an important cause of community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Because of increase in its antimicrobial resistance, the surveillance of the local ...
Vaccinating laboratory mice with Streptococcus mitis bacteria prevents their virulent sibling, Streptococcus pneumoniae from infecting the mice. The research suggests that vaccination of humans with ...
A bout with flu virus can be hard, but when Streptococcus pneumonia enters the mix, it can turn deadly. Now researchers have found a further reason for the severity of this dual infection by ...
Researchers have uncovered a crucial link between dietary zinc intake and protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae, the primary bacterial cause of pneumonia. Researchers have uncovered a crucial ...
