Examples of pneumococcus

pneumococcus
For instance, practitioners may prescribe antibiotics less often to vaccinated children, taking into account the reduced probability of their being infected by a pneumococcus.
For penicillin-resistant pneumococci, introduced as a notifiable disease in 1996, the overall sensitivity was 93.4 % - increasing from 86.5 % in 1998 to 98.5 % in 2002.
Emergence of multidrug-resistant pneumococci emphasizes the importance of vaccination as a means to prevent pneumococcal disease.
The adult vaccines for influenza and pneumococcus have been found to be cost-effective in well-done studies (31;32).
Typing of pneumococci by using 12 pooled antisera.
Data from the study showed a significant reduction of hospitalization for influenza and pneumococcus-related diseases and of deaths from all causes.
Of the number collected, 62 % (755/1218) of the specimens were culture-positive for pneumococci.
Only 2 cases of penicillin-resistant pneumococci were reported (in 1998).
Transmission from a person infected with pneumococcus is via droplets of respiratory secretions that remain air-borne over a distance of a few feet.
In addition, the rates of asymptomic carriage of meningococci and pneumococci are also similar in the population.
Longitudinal studies on the effect of antibiotics on carriage of pneumococci may reveal this relationship.
An appropriate interpretation of our findings confirmed our previous result that influenza and pneumococcal vaccination reduced hospitalization for influenza and pneumococcus-associated diseases.
