In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Aerococcus urinae to 14 antibiotics, and timeâkill curves for penicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin MICs of 14 antibiotics were determined, and for two isolates time–kill curve experiments with penicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin, alone or in combination, were performed in order to obtain more information on optimal treatment regimens of serious infections caused by A. urinae.

Neisseria Description and Significance. Neisseria menigitidis is responsible for a large amount morbidity and mortality throughout the world with septicemia and meningitis cases estimated to be between 500,000 and 1 million every year (Dietrich et al. 2003).

- Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. Most severe cases are caused by bacteria. Pneumococcal bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae) are the second biggest cause of bacterial meningitis in the UK and Ireland. Pneumococcal meningitis occurs when the bacteria that have invaded the bloodstream move across to infect the 'meninges' (the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord).

- Abstract. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen of man causing diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media. The mechanisms by which this organism causes these diseases are still largely unknown.The use of molecular approaches to identifying and studying putative virulence factors in combination with the application of animal models has allowed some of the mechanisms of the disease process to be defined.. Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) remains a major pathogen of man despite the advent of antibiotic therapy. The organism is the causative agent of several important diseases including pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media.

What is Meningitis? Meningitis is infection and inflamation of the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord). Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.ncubation Period. The incubation period depends on the causative agent. For example the incubation period of meningococcal meningitis is 2-10 days while the incubation for hemophilus meningitis is much shorter ranging from 2-4 days.

- The English-language literature from the PubMed database was reviewed. The incidence of E. meningoseptica bacteraemia has increased over the last decade. Patients at high risk of E. meningoseptica infection include preterm children, the immunocompromised and those exposed to antibiotics in critical care units.ancomycin, rifampicin, newer fluoroquinolones, piperacillin-tazobactam, minocycline and possibly tigecycline are preferred empirical choices for E. meningoseptica infection according to in-vitro susceptibility data.

- The researchers found that the association between long-term PPI use and vitamin B 12 deficiency was strongest among patients younger than 30 years (OR, 8.12; 95% CI, 3.36 - 19.59) but decreased with age, and the association was stronger among women than men.owever, for patients taking PPIs long-term, it's only proper to check B 12 levels and treat people who need treatment. I think that is the strongest message that can come out of this paper.. This research was supported by a Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Grant.

Meningitis 1 Meningococcal meningitis, caused by Neisseria meningitidis, is primarily a disease of young children, with the incidence of cases declining in those older than 1 year of age. 2  The disease is most common during winter and spring. 3  In some persons, the bacteria can cause a severe blood infection called meningococcemia.iral meningitis (also called aseptic meningitis) is the most common type of meningitis and is less severe than bacterial meningitis. In Illinois, an average of 600 cases of aseptic meningitis is reported annually, with most occurring in late summer and early autumn.

- If the antibiotics are effective, you'll need to be in hospital for about a week. However, if you're severely ill, you may need to stay in hospital for several weeks or even months. Meningococcal disease (either meningitis or septicaemia due to Neissaria meningitidis) can cause some long-term complications.

- Outbreaks of meningococcal disease are rare in the United States; only about 2 to 3 out of every 100 cases are related to outbreaks.However, the onset of an outbreak is unpredictable and the outcomes can be emotionally devastating to affected communities and organizations.accination. During an outbreak caused by serogroup A, C, W, or Y meningococcal disease, vaccination with a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine is routinely recommended for those 2 months or older identified as being at increased risk because of the outbreak.

- A common outcome of meningococcus infection is meningitis. When caused by Neisseria meningitidis, it is known as meningococcal meningitis or bacterial meningitis. When someone has meningococcal meningitis, the protective membranes covering their brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges, become infected and swell.

Passive Immunity in Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases This organism is a common cause of serious neonatal infections such as sepsis, and IVIG containing S. epidermidis opsonizing antibodies may be effective in its prevention. Fischer et al. (50) have studied IVIG in the treatment of S. epidermidis infections in suckling rats and have demonstrated a potential benefit.
