Other studies have shown that repeated use of fluoroquinolones predicts an increased risk of infection with fluoroquinolone-resistant pneumococci...."

"And it is in fact true that children carry less pneumococci if they do not attend day care - unless mothers smoke, in which case the protection goes away."

PBP2a is known to give staphylococci resistance to other β-lactam drugs and PBPx does the same for pneumococci.

Mrs. Miller's life was saved, and so eventually were the lives of all those previously felled by infections of bacteria like streptococci, staphylococci and pneumococci.

The polysaccharide antigens were used to induce type-specific antibodies that enhanced opsonization, phagocytosis, and killing of pneumococci by phagocytic cells.

Confirmed Case: Meet the probable case definition plus have pneumococcal infection confirmed by blood culture or other isolation of pneumococci from normally sterile site.

The risk of pneumococcal infection is much increased in persons with impaired IgG synthesis, impaired phagocytosis, or defective clearance of pneumococci.

In the 19th century, it was demonstrated that immunization of rabbits with killed pneumococci protected them against subsequent challenge with viable pneumococci.

While not all bacterial pneumonia is attributable to the pneumococcus bacteria, it is the most common variety, and the one for which a vaccine exists.

The study suggests that pneumococcus can use the structure to penetrate cells and reach the bloodstream, opening the door to sepsis and meningitis.
