Diseases and Symptoms: This is one of the most significant causes of fatal bacterial pneumonia in under five worldwide and is known to be an important cause of pneumonia in the elderly. Those with concomitant diseases such as asthma, HIV, cancer, viral infections (including influenza) and those who suffer from alcoholism and immunodeficient diseases are particularly sensitive to the
S. pneumonia infection (Enrikes-Normark and Normark , 2010). S. pneumonia
causes not only pneumonia, but can cause infections such as otitis media, bronchitis, sinusitis, bacteremia and meningitis (Liares
etc., 2010,. Mitchell and Mitchell, 2010). Treatment with antibiotics and resistance: Up to 1967 S. pneumonia
was sensitive to penicillin and most other drugs. However, excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, C.
pneumonia strains are becoming more resistant to antibiotics. S. pneumonia
has a very efficient transformation system that provides high frequency horizontal gene transfer between pneumococcal strains of streptococci and others. This allows
S. pneumonia and share buy antibiotics resistance genes (Enrikes-Normark and Normark, 2010). Prevention strattera side effects and Control: vaccine called the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PCV7) was introduced for children entering in 2000's, against serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F (Liares
and etc., etc.., 2010). Since its introduction there has been a decrease in invasive pneumococcal infections among children under five years in several countries, but recently observed increase in multiresistant serotypes (Liares
al., 2010). .
