results in a lower surface area to carry oxygen to the lungs. As a result the lungs works harder to breath to supply the body with oxygen this causes symptoms like cough‚ fever‚ and chest pain. Etiology of Pneumonia Causes of pneumonia are partly unknown‚ primarily because of difficulty in obtaining adequate samples and lack of reliable diagnostic methods. For the most cases it is known that Pneumonia can be caused

How do people "catch pneumonia"? Some cases of pneumonia are contracted by breathing in small droplets that contain the organisms that can cause pneumonia. These droplets get into the air when a person infected with these germs coughs or sneezes. In other cases‚ pneumonia is caused when bacteria or viruses that are normally present in the mouth‚ throat‚ or nose inadvertently enter the lung. During sleep‚ it is quite common for people to aspirate secretions from the mouth‚ throat‚ or nose. Normally

The three include: Neisseria meningitidis‚ Streptococcus pneumoniae‚ and Listeria monocytogenes. In addition‚ many of the symptoms can vary by a different age group. Some symptoms can be more serve than others. The first signs of meningitis are nausea‚ vomiting‚ increased sensitivity to light‚ altered mental

infection‚ pneumonia‚ caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae‚ a few years back. I was very sick with a high fever‚ shortness of breath‚ fatigue‚ chest pain‚ and greenish-yellow – sometimes even bloody – mucus‚ which I consistently coughed up. I suffered for roughly a month or so before my pneumonia finally disappeared and I healed up. Being an otherwise healthy individual‚ yet still experiencing the symptoms for such a lengthy amount of time‚ made me wonder about how S. pneumoniae affects individuals who are

K. pneumoniae is a gram negative‚ facultative anaerobic‚ gamma-proteobacteria that can cause pneumonia‚ urinary tract infections‚ cholecystitis‚ and septicemia. (Strand & Shulman 1988) As shown in Table 1.‚ many organisms have developed resistances to commonly used antibiotics. The difference between the standard strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the extended spectrum betalactemase (ESBL) strain‚ for example‚ is striking. 12 antibiotics had greater than or equal to 95 percent effectiveness against

Due to the nature of this proposed research‚ potential issues may arise since the resistant strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the key factor in the significant increase of morbidity and mortality rate globally. For instance‚ the proposed research of studying the resistant strains of the Streptococcus pneumoniae can lead to a potential new antibiotic (Science and Social Responsibility - Dual Use Research).
