Nasopharyngeal bacterial colonization in children – study hypothesis
Background With monthly reports of decreased bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics and the soaring incidence of invasive infections, it becomes increasingly important to assess bacterial colonization, as this can easily constitute a reservoir for infection. Entering the community for kindergarten and school training is an important step for children, particularly since this may be associated ...
متن کاملImplications of Freter's model of bacterial colonization.
A recent mathematical model (Freter et al., Infect. Immun. 39:686-703, 1983) provided a plausible simulation of both the mouse gut and continuous-flow mixed cultures. We show here that in certain circumstances Freter's equations are soluble, giving simple formulae that can be applied to particular problems without resort to computers or numerical simulation.
متن کاملPneumococci in biofilms are non-invasive: implications on nasopharyngeal colonization
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the human nasopharynx asymptomatically. Invasive pneumococcal disease develops following bacterial aspiration into the lungs. Pneumococci within the nasopharynx exist as biofilms, a growth phenotype characterized by surface attachment, encasement within an extracellular matrix, and antimicrobial resistance. ...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal Pneumococcal Colonization among Children after Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Introduction
World Health Organization has recommended all countries to introduction of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) in routine immunization schedule, especially those countries with higher rate of mortality in children. However, Islamic Republic of Iran and more than 50 other countries including Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei Darussalam, Cabo V...
