	Serious Bacterial Infections in Children with HIV
		The results of these defects are increased susceptibility to infection with encapsulated bacteria beyond age 2 years,(4) increased nasopharyngeal colonization rates for Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae,(5) recurrent infections with the same bacterial species, increased susceptibility to infections with bacteria unusual in immunocompetent hosts, and increased morbidity and mortality.
		In that study, serious bacterial infections occurred most frequently in children <1 year of age (21.5 episodes per 100 person-years), whereas, in children of 1 and 2 years of age, the rates decreased to 14.3 and 11.2 episodes per 100 person-years, respectively.
		Although this chapter provides a general overview of serious bacterial infections, it is important for the practitioner to have a low threshold for consulting experts in the care of immunosuppressed patients and for expanding the differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, and therapeutic coverage to include other pathogens likely to cause disease in HIV-infected children.

	Bacterial Vaginal Infections in Pregnancy
		Bacterial vaginosis is associated with preterm labor, premature rupture of the bag of waters which leads to preterm labor, infection of the amniotic fluid, placenta and baby during labor.
		Any woman who has had a previous streptococcal vaginal infection during pregnancy or even a history of preterm labor or preterm rupture of the membranes during a previous pregnancy should be tested again or even just empirically treated as if she had such an infection.
		The testing or treatment for bacterial vaginosis should take place after 16 weeks pregnancy and the testing or treatment for streptococcal vaginosis should take place at 35-37 weeks or anytime during presentation for labor, suspected labor or with a history of rupture of the bag of waters (membranes) prior to the onset of labor.

		The Division suggests that it be studied with complicated urinary tract infections as dosing regimens for pyelonephritis and complicated urinary tract infections are routinely similar.
		Bacterial eradication rate should be the primary effectiveness endpoint, and at least 95% bacterial eradication should be expected in both trials (or for both genders if one trial is performed) in order to support the claim for this infection.

	'Conversation stoppers' fight deadly bacterial infections
		Now, chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a powerful strategy to fight these deadly infections: Instead of killing the bacteria directly, the scientists designed a group of compounds that can block the chemical signals that the bacteria use to communicate in an effort to stop their spread.
		In addition, these 'conversation stoppers' do not target bacterial growth, so the potential for the development of bacterial resistance is minimized.
		Attempts to block bacterial quorum sensing are being conducted by a growing number of research groups.

	Bacterial Infections and IPT
		There is growing evidence that many cases of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, one form of stomach cancer, and other chronic diseases may have a hidden bacterial infection as underlying cause.
		IPT has been found, in over 130 doctor-years of experience, to be extremely effective in treating a variety of bacterial diseases, as well as a number of chronic diseases that could have bacterial origin.
		Based on Dr. Perez Garcia 1's experience with appendicitis and ulcers, it appears that IPT would be ideal for treating such serious and difficult infections as peritonitis (infection and inflammation of the membrane lining the abdomen), septicemia (bacterial infection of the blood), gangrene, frostbite, and deep traumatic wounds.
