Recently, a new vaccine developed by researchers in the United States is expected to eradicate pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis simultaneously, all of which are caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Pneumonia-related deaths have plummeted since the advent of pneumonia, but pneumonia vaccines target only the 23 most enduring strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and others can still cause deaths. The vaccine is designed to target dozens of germs The strain is in effect and 23 of the most enduring strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae are also included, the researchers said: 'The vaccine is expected to save hundreds of thousands of lives each year.'
In a number of cases, the new vaccine outperformed existing pneumococcal vaccines, said Dr. Brian Pfeiffer, a researcher: 'We have made great strides in fighting the spread of pneumonia, especially among children.'
Charles Jones, another study author, said: 'Traditional vaccines will remove all bacteria from the body, and the new vaccine will not attack beneficial bacteria, keeping harmless bacteria and preventing harmful bacteria from taking advantage of it.'
