- Over 90 serotypes Source: chori.org; The National Foundation
for Infectious Diseases Bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae
are the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia

- webpages.charter.net Drug resistant S. pneumoniae (DRSP)
started to be seen in the 1960s and is now prevalent worldwide
- Slide 8
- Boundless.com Resistance genes are usually acquired via
transformation
- Slide 9
- Lower respiratory infections were the leading cause of death in
low- income countries in 2012, and 99% of child pneumonia deaths
occur in those countries.
- Slide 10
- WHO Incidence of childhood clinical pneumonia at the country
level Global healthcare inequality is a major problem
- Slide 11
- Adequate nutrition and a healthy environment reduce the
incidence of disease and complications medicalxpress.com

- Slide 12
- Vaccination is the most effective type of prevention
- Slide 13
- The current polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) protects against 23
types of pneumococcal bacteria but does not induce effective immune
response in children younger than 2 years old uspharmacist.com
- Slide 14
- The conjugate vaccine (PCV13) works in younger children and
older adults uspharmacist.com drugtopics.modernmedicine.com
- Slide 15
- The Integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and
Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD) aims to reduce deaths
from pneumonia to < 3 children/1000 live births by 2025
- Slide 16
- Recent Study involving S. pneumoniae September 18, 2014
