Children younger than 5 years accounted for more than a third of deaths (86 600 [53 300–149 000]). #Streptococcuspneumoniae, #Neisseriameningitidis, non-polio #enteroviruses
& other viruses were the leading causes of death, while non-polio enteroviruses caused the most cases.

#VAAM2026 is kicking off today in Berlin!🦠
The #BIDlab will be represented by the fantastic Miriana Battista who will be presenting our latest work on Poster IB-024 on Tuesday 🙌🏻🙏🏻👌🏻😍 stop by!

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #immunosky #publichealth Pneumococcal disease is caused by #Streptococcuspneumoniae, an encapsulated, Gram-positive bacterium. Pneumococcal disease can be classified as non-invasive (community-acquired pneumonia [CAP], #sinusitis & #acuteotitismedia) or invasive

Basal activation of ERK1/2 blunts the antimicrobial activity of neutrophils from old hosts against antibody-opsonized Streptococcus pneumoniae Abstract. Age-related decline in neutrophil function reduces vaccine protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae. In vaccinated hosts, neutrophil activatio

New findings from Shaunna Simmons, Annabel Rivera & @elsaawesomepmns.bsky.social @ubuffalo.bsky.social - "Basal activation of #ERK1/2 blunts the antimicrobial activity of #Neutrophils from old hosts against antibody-opsonized #StreptococcusPneumoniae"

This depletion creates an immunological niche that allows for the transition to secondary bacterial pneumonia, particularly from #Streptococcuspneumoniae.

The #BIDlab had a super productive cookie-baking last workday with the PharmBio team 🍪 🎄

Closing the year extremely thankful for all the work and development we did as a small team👩🔬 🧪

Enjoy the holidays and see y'all in 2026! 🥳 🙏

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #pedsky #microsky #neurosky #publichealth #Bacterialmeningitis is a life-threatening disease, caused by bacterial invasion of CNS . #Streptococcuspneumoniae & #Neisseriameningitidis, common colonisers of the nasopharynx, are the most frequent causative pathogens.

U01.03.007 Encapsulated bacteria Encapsulated bacteria possess an outer polysaccharide capsule that protects them from phagocytosis, enhancing their virulence. Important examples include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Neisseria meningitidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Group B Streptococcus.

Understand the role of capsules in bacterial virulence and immune evasion. #EncapsulatedBacteria #Microbiology #StreptococcusPneumoniae #HaemophilusInfluenzae #NeisseriaMeningitidis #Klebsiella #Pseudomonas #Salmonella #EColi #GroupBStreptococcus #USMLE #MedicalEducation #Pathogenesis #Immunology
