Before the 1990s‚ Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis‚ but new vaccines are being given to all children as part of their routine immunizations. This has reduced the occurrence of invasive disease due to H. influenzae. Today‚ Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are the leading causes of bacterial meningitis. The bacteria that cause

Furthermore‚ in discovering and in introducing the pneumococcal‚ meningococcal‚ and Haemophilus influenzae type-B (HiB) which in the same way is a cause of bacterial infections that are often severe‚ vaccines of the said diseases earlier has altered the epidemiology and the occurrence/prevalence of meningitis in developed countries.

Zika fever is an emerging infectious disease of arboviral origin transmitted by mosquitoes of Aedes genus. It presents as an influenza-like disease with a cutaneous rash‚ but certain complication can ensue. Accumulating evidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome following Zika virus infection does not come as a surprise‚ as this syndrome is a well-known (albeit rare) complication of other infections.

the amount of those who get sick and the amount of those who get sick and die (“Contagious” par. 1). The proof is in the facts; vaccinations do have a significant impact. Two great examples demonstrating the effectiveness of vaccines are the Haemophilus Influenzae type b vaccine (Hib) - which helps prevent meningitis - and the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV). Established in 1990‚ the Hib vaccine was brought into the United States to reduce the number of those affected and deaths as a result of this

There were eight antibiotics used for this experiment; chloramphenicol (C)‚ erythromycin (E)‚ fusidic acid (FC)‚ oxacillin (OX)‚ novobiocin (NO)‚ penicillin G (PG)‚ streptomycin (S)‚ and tetracycline (T). The mode of action of Chloramphenicol is the inhibition of protein synthesis. Chloramphenicol irreversibly binds to a receptor sit on the 50S subunit of the ribosome on the bacteria that inhibits the enzyme peptidyl transferase. This inhibition results to the prevention of the transfer of amino

When I was a kid‚ I remember going to the doctors office before the school year to get shots. I often wondered why I had to do this‚ and was reluctant to the idea of someone putting a needle in my arm because the school said so.
