Pneumonia, Bacterial
Abstract
In up to half of all cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), no pathogen can be identified with conventional diagnostic methods. The most common identified causative agent is Streptococcus pneumoniae. In this study, pneumococcal antibody responses during CAP were analyzed to est...

Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major clinical problem in terms of morbidity, mortality, and use of hospital resources. It is well recognized that a delay in making the diagnosis and instituting appropriate antibiotic treatment is associated with an increased mortality. C-reactive protein ma...

Type 1 T-cell responses in chlamydial lung infections are associated with local MIP-1alpha response.
Abstract
We therefore analyzed the dynamics of multiple chemokines, which are frequently associated with type 1 (Th1) T cell immune responses, and their receptors for their expression in the lungs during Chlamydia muridarum (Cm) infections. We also examined the relationship between chemokine responses and th...

Abstract
MICs of imipenem and colistin for E. cloacae strain Ent 831 were 0.5 microg/mL and 1.0 microg/mL, respectively. Using a standard inoculum (5 x 10(5)) CFU/mL), synergism was shown with a concentration of two times the MICs of imipenem and colistin. Furthermore, four times the MIC of imipenem complete...

Abstract
We further characterize this domain by identifying six residues that are essential for ExoU activity. Substitutions at each of these positions resulted in abrogation of membrane targeting, decreased ExoU-mediated cytotoxicity, and reductions in PLA(2) activity. Likewise, each of the six MLD residues...

Abstract
I (NMI), SCID mice developed pneumonia and splenomegaly and succumbed to infection, whereas wild-type mice cleared the infection by 24 days. SCID mice reconstituted with either CD4+ T cells or CD8+ T cells alone were able to control the infection, indicating that the presence of either type of T cel...
