This approach provides a unique opportunity to view the different perspectives and points of view on this subject. Severe CAP is a common clinical problem encountered in the ICU setting. This book reviews topics concerning the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of SCAP. The discussions on the role of alcohol in severe CAP and adjunctive therapies are important topics that further our understanding of this severe respiratory infection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a workshop titled "Streptococcus pneumoniae: Molecular Biology and Mechanisms of Disease -- Update for the 1990s" held in September 1996 in Oeiras, Portugal, this volume contains some 40 contributions written by some 50 biochemists, molecular cmicrobiologists, geneticists, zoologists, pharmacologists, and pediatricians from 12 countries. Contributions are divided into six sections: an introductory segment addressing work to be done in the field and the disease's functional anatomy; the disease's chromosome structure, recombination, and cloning; capsule, cell wall, and virulence factors; Pneumococcal disease and animal models; antibiotic resistance; and surveillance and intervention.
Download or read book Addressing Emerging Infectious Disease Threats written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plan addresses the need to improve our ability to identify infectious disease threats and respond to them effectively by improving the public health infrastructure at the local, state and federal levels. The goals of the plan are surveillance (detect, promptly investigate, and monitor emerging pathogens, the diseases they cause, and the factors influencing their emergence); applied research (integrate laboratory science and epidemiology to optimize public health practice); prevention and control (enhance communication of public health information about emerging diseases and ensure prompt implementation of prevention strategies); and infrastructure (strengthen local, state, and federal public health infrastructures to support surveillance and implement prevention and control programs).
Download or read book Molecular Pathogenesis of Pneumococcus written by Guangchun Bai and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Streptococcus pneumoniae has been for decades the number one bacterial killer of children in the world. Although vaccination with pneumococcal vaccines [PCV7, PCV10, and PCV13 (children) or PPSV23 (adults)] has helped decrease the burden of pneumococcal disease (PD), mortality remains high. Therefore, pathogenesis studies are still key toward our understanding of PD and its control. The introduction of pneumococcal vaccines has also created a niche for vaccine-escape clones. Moreover, the rise of multi-drug resistant clones around the world has also posed a serious threat in recent years. The proposed special issue of Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology highlights many of the recent advances that have been made in pneumococcal pathogenesis, colonization and antibiotic resistance by groups in Latino America, Europe, and the USA.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral thesis proves the necessity of applying molecular techniques in direct sample for a more accurate study of the Invasive Disease Potential (IDP) of Streptococcus pneumoniae and for its epidemiological surveillance. These methods allow a better detection and serotype identification of the pneumococcal population in both Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) and nasopharyngeal carriers. However, to better understand the behavior of the different serotypes a complete analysis of the clonal types of pneumococci (invasive and carriers) should be also performed. In the first two studies the IDP of pneumococcal serotypes found in our pediatric population was estimated. In the first study, traditional methods based only in culture were used for both the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the identification of the capsular type; while in the second study, the same estimation was performed but this time adding molecular techniques in direct sample for both the detection and serotyping. When comparing the results of both studies, the addition of molecular techniques in direct sample doubled the number of pneumococci identified causing IPD, and in the nasopharynx of healthy children. The great increase in the pneumococcus detection revealed a different distribution of the serotypes circulating in the population of the area, when compared with the data that had been obtained only by culture, which was translated in a huge impact in the IDP of these serotypes. In the carrier's population an important proportion in the increase of serotypes that were able to be identified in carriers was due to the detection of multiple colonies in one sample, with up to four different serotypes distinguished in the same sample. The analysis of the carriers' population also revealed a rate of co-colonization of 26.4% in the children population of our area. The better estimation of the ranking order of the most common serotypes in IPD and in the nasopharynx also allowed a more accurate analysis of the effects of PCV7 in the study time period. The results from the third study provided additional information about the invasive disease potential of serotypes causing IPD in our area due to the clonal study of invasive strains. In addition, it provided information about the evolution of serotypes causing disease after the introduction of PCV13 in 2010, in both children and adults. Although the most common serotypes found in the study were still PCV13 serotypes (with a special concern for the increase of the ST156 serotype 14), probably due to the low vaccine coverage in our area, a significant decrease was observed. In contrast, a significant increase in the proportion of non-PCV13 serotypes was revealed. Worth mentioning, is the increase experienced by serotype 12F (in high association with ST989) and, when analyzed by age groups, the increase of serotype 24F in children less than 2 years old (the major clone being the multi drug resistant ST230). But most importantly was the data obtained in the serotypes analysis of their clonal composition. Despite the capsule is the most important factor in virulence, strains expressing the same serotype but belonging to different clonal types has been found to present different invasiveness. Certain clonal types may present some characteristics that are likely to be advantageous for invasiveness, like antibiotic resistance. The study of the genetic population of the serotypes offers a more complete knowledge of the pneumococcal invasiveness, explains temporal trends and differences in geographical areas, and provides useful information for the prediction of which serotypes could be replacing the ones included in the vaccines. For a better interpretation of the pneumococcal behavior, the analysis of the clonal types associated with a serotype should be performed along with the capsular identification.
