Pneumococcal serotypes and virulence.
To the Editor—Pneumococcus is a venerable microorganism with an amazingly rich history. Those of us who study this organism should constantly examine our present findings in light of the wealth of previous literature. I am concerned when investigators draw conclusions from their own excellent but potentially limited data without referring to or noting discrepancies with that earlier body of kno...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility and pneumococcal serotypes.
The increase in antibiotic resistance and the possible changes in serotype prevalence as a consequence of a new conjugated vaccine have contributed to renewed interest in the study of pneumococcal serotypes and their antibiotic resistances. Spain still has one of the highest penicillin resistance rates, but in the past 4-5 years a slight decrease has been observed. The level of resistance has n...

Epidemics may occur, most often in closed institutional settings such as schools and military camps, but account for only a minority of all the cases. The total incidence of pneumococcal pneumonia in Western populations is 1–5 per 1000 person-years, and several times higher in the very young and the elderly. In developing countries it is estim...
