The genus Klebsiella was named after the German microbiologist Edwin Klebs (1834–1913). [citation needed] It is also known as Friedlander's bacillum in honor of Carl Friedländer, a German pathologist, who proposed that this bacterium was the etiological factor for the pneumonia seen especially in immunocompromised individuals such as people with chronic diseases or alcoholics.
Uromune is an inactivated combination of four major bacteria known to cause recurrent UTIs, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Proteus vulgaris. [2] It is thought to work by increasing adaptive immunity against UTI-causing bacteria. [2] [8] It might also work by increasing trained immunity against ...
Klebsiella organisms can lead to a wide range of disease states, notably pneumonia, urinary tract infections, sepsis, meningitis, diarrhea, peritonitis and soft tissue infections. [ 6 ] [ 11 ] Klebsiella species have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies . [ 12 ]
Beyond adverse effects from the herb itself, "adulteration, inappropriate formulation, or lack of understanding of plant and drug interactions have led to adverse reactions that are sometimes life threatening or lethal." [3]
With the conjugate vaccine about 10% of babies develop redness at the site of injection, fever, or change in sleep. [1] Severe allergies are very rare. [1] Whole-cell vaccinations were developed alongside characterisation of the subtypes of pneumococcus from the early 1900s. [5] The first pneumococcal vaccine was developed in the 1980s. [1]
Merck's vaccine, branded Capvaxive, helped produce an immune response against all 21 serotypes, or variations of the bacteria, that the shot targeted in a variety of adult populations across studies.
The bacteria can kill up to half of patients who get bloodstream infections. [2] Tom Frieden, former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has referred to CRE as "nightmare bacteria". [2] [3] Examples of enzymes found in certain types of CRE are KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) and NDM (New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase ...
The CDC says there is no treatment of vaccines to tackle HMPV, but it did say medical care can be “supportive.” The Cleveland Clinic says treatments for the virus can include oxygen therapy if ...
