Streptococcus pneumoniae as a Cause of Salpingitis
BACKGROUND A case of pneumococcal septicemia associated with laparoscopically documented acute salpingitis is reported. CASE Gram-stained cul-de-sac pus revealed gram-positive encapsulated diplococci. CONCLUSION This case coupled with reanalysis of prior genital tract involvement in nonpregnant individuals argues that Streptococcus pneumoniae can mimic gonococcal diseases.
متن کاملNonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae as a cause of chronic adenoiditis
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen. To cause disease, it must first colonize the nasopharynx. The widespread use of pneumococcal-conjugate vaccines which target the capsular polysaccharide has led to decreased nasopharyngeal carriage of vaccine serotypes, but a concomitant increase in carriage of non-vaccine serotypes and nonencapsulated S. pneumoniae (NESp). Some NESp expr...
متن کاملCloning of Minor Autolysin of Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Abstract Background and Objective: Increased antibiotic resistant strains and inadequacy of current vaccines against pneumococcal infections necessitate the study of novel protein antigens. It seems that minor autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae may have antigenicity. Thus, we aimed at cloning its gene for the first time. Material and Methods: After DNA extraction of Streptococcus pneumoniae ...
متن کاملStreptococcus pneumoniae and community-acquired pneumonia: a cause for concern.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the sixth most common cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of death from infectious diseases. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and poses a major economic burden to the healthcare system. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of CAP. Other common bacterial causes include Haemophilus influenzae as well as...
متن کاملNovel approaches to the identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae as the cause of community-acquired pneumonia.
Current diagnostic tests lack sensitivity for the identification of the bacterial etiology of pneumonia. Attempts during the past 2 decades to improve sensitivity of detection of bacterial constituents in blood by use of antibody-antigen complexes and polymerase chain reaction have been disappointing. Recent data using pneumococcal conjugate vaccines as probes suggest that increased levels of b...
