Pulmonary Disease Associated With Nonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae

We discuss 3 patients presenting with pneumonia associated with nonencapsulated (NESp), an emerging pathogen commonly causing upper respiratory infections. Clinical isolates obtained from these patients were characterized to evaluate their respective antibiotic resistance and virulence mechanisms. W...

Zusammenfassung:We discuss 3 patients presenting with pneumonia associated with nonencapsulated (NESp), an emerging pathogen commonly causing upper respiratory infections.

We demonstrate that NESp resistant to classical drug treatments are isolated during pneumonia.
