| Fifteen to twenty percent of the elderly who are sick with pneumococci die from this infection, so it is well worth preventing. |
|
| Other agents occasionally implicated are pneumococci, staphylococci, streptococci, and Candida albicans. |
|
| Causative pathogens are usually Coxsackie virus, hemolytic streptococci, pneumococci and bacterium coli. |
|
| Currently, many pneumococci are resistant to penicillins and other agents. |
|
| Therefore, these vaccines may protect against 85 to 90 percent of invasive and respiratory infections caused by pneumococci in children in the United States. |
|
| The pneumococcal vaccine now available consists of polysaccharide antigens from many of the most common types of pathogenic pneumococci. |
|
| For instance, they are effective against most staphylococci and streptococci as well as penicillin-resistant pneumococci. |
|
| Various other strains of streptococci, as well as strains of pneumococci and staphylococci, can also cause meningitis. |
|
| Community acquired infections with pneumococci cause pneumonia, blood poisoning, and middle ear disease in over six and a half million cases and 40,000 deaths. |
|
| The Pneumovax protects only against pneumonia caused by the family of pneumococci bacteria. |
|
| The carrying of resistant pneumococci in childhood has been associated with younger age, attendance at daycare centres, and previous use of antibiotics. |
|
| Cleocin is used to treat serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria such as streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. |
|
| Lincocin is indicated to treat of serious infections caused by of streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. |
|
| Although there are 84 different types of pneumococci, most cases of disease are caused by a much smaller number. |
|
| This is a higher dose than usual, chosen to increase the likelihood of eradicating penicillin-resistant pneumococci. |
|
| As regards the prevention of diseases in the elderly, the main initiative is the vaccination of the elderly against the flu and pneumococci, whose coverage exceeds the 70-percent target. |
|
| On the other hand, although there are more than 60 different strains of pneumococci that can cause bacterial pneumonia, some strains are much more common than others. |
|
| The disease-causing ability of pneumococci resides in the capsule, which delays or prevents their destruction by phagocytes, cells in the bloodstream that normally engulf foreign material. |
|
| Reports of infections caused by penicillin-resistant pneumococci and gonococci, and Vancomycin resistant enterococci and others are received almost daily. |
|
| The emergence of drug resistant pneumococci and the poor efficacy of current vaccines have prompted the search for new vaccines and drug targets against the bacteria. |
|
|
|
| Hakansson and his colleagues had previously found that when the pneumococci colonize the nose, they form sophisticated, highly structured biofilm communities. |
|
| Increased penicillin nonsusceptibility of nonvaccine-serotype invasive pneumococci other than serotypes 19A and 6A in post-7-valent conjugate vaccine era. |
|
| Pneumococci are capable of residing back in our throats for a considerable period of time. |
|
| Meningococci, group A streptococci, Pneumococci and Varicella are the various bacterial and viral pathogens implicated. |
