Research Article: Prevalence, Antimicrobial Drug Resistance and Associated Risk Factors of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Bacteria Infection Among Under-Five Children With Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Attending Sheik Hassan Yebere Referral Hospital, Jig-Jiga, Ethiopia

Date Published: 2023-06-02

Abstract:
Pneumonia is an inflammation of alveoli and bronchioles of the lung. It can be caused by either a virus or bacteria pathogen. The S. pneumoniae bacteria is normal flora in the upper respiratory airway and it can frequently cause respiratory tract infection for under-five children due to low or under-developed immunological status. In the middle and low income countries the bacteria are commonly carried in the nasopharynx of children, which serves as a reservoir for human pathogen for the development of pneumonia disease.
