although the vast majority of pneumonias are bacterial in origin. Bacterial pneumonia is a prevalent, potentially serious infection; it caused more 50,000 deaths in the United States in 2014.[3]As the alveoli fill with fluids and white blood cells (consolidation), air exchange becomes impaired ...
In environments characterized by extended multi-stress conditions, pathogens develop a variety of immune escape mechanisms to enhance their ability to infect the host. The capsules, polymers that bacteria secrete near their cell wall, participates in num
Bacterial pneumonia is one of the most common causes of acute respiratory distress syndrome. In fulminant cases, when mechanical ventilation fails, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is required. However, this method is still associated with
