 Pathophysiology
Streptococcus pneumoniae, a key source of infection in both children and
adults, causes a significant amount of morbidity and mortality every year. For
young children, those with underlying serious medical conditions, and the elderly,
streptococcus pneumoniae infections are among the most common causes of
sickness and death globally.

Infection
When a patient carries DRSP as part of his
or her naturally occurring bacteria, or
what we refer to as "Normal flora," that
patient is considered to have colonized.
Colonization
if a patient has an illness brought on
by DRSP, that person is considered as
having an infection.
