PurposeOtitis media with effusion (OME) is common in young children and is associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. We aimed to determine the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) introduction on the prevalence of OME and OME associated with vaccine-type (VT) or non-VT.MethodsPopulation-based cross-sectional surveys were conducted in pre- (2016) and post-PCV periods (2017, 2018, and 2019) at selected communes in Nha Trang, Vietnam. For each survey, we randomly selected 60 children aged 4–11 months and 60 aged 14–23 months from each commune. Nasopharyngeal sample collection and tympanic membrane examination by digital otoscope were performed. S. pneumoniae was detected and serotyped by lytA qPCR and microarray. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Firth’s logistic regression, stratified by age group.ResultsOver the four surveys, 2089 children had a bilateral ear examination. Compared to pre-PCV, the prevalence of OME reduced in 2018 (OR 0.51, 95 %CI 0.28–0.93) and in 2019 (OR 0.53, 95 %CI 0.29–0.97) among the <12-month-olds, but no significant reduction among the 12–23-month-olds. The prevalence of OME associated with VT pneumococcus decreased in 2018 and 2019 (2018: OR 0.14, 95 %CI 0.03–0.55; 2019: OR 0.20, 95 %CI 0.05–0.69 in the <12-months-olds, 2018: OR 0.05, 95 %CI 0.00–0.44, 2019: OR 0.41, 95 %CI 0.10–1.61 in the 12–23-months-olds). The prevalence of OME associated with non-VT pneumococcus increased in the 12–23-month-olds in 2017 (OR 3.09, 95 %CI 1.47–7.45) and returned to the pre-PCV level of prevalence in 2018 and 2019 (OR 0.94, 95 %CI 0.40–2.43 and 1.40, 95 %CI 0.63–3.49).ConclusionPCV10 introduction was associated with a reduction of OME prevalence in infants but not in older children. 相似文献

BackgroundFollowing pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) implementation, worldwide, pneumococcal carriage rates remained stable, indicating full replacement of vaccine-serotypes (VT) with non-VT. However, data are scarce regarding PCV impact on pneumococcal carriage rates in healthy vs. sick children. We assessed pneumococcal carriage rates dynamics in healthy and sick children 6–23 months, following PCV introduction.MethodsThis is a prospective, population-based surveillance conducted during the years 2009–2017, in southern Israel. Three groups were defined as follows: Children without respiratory infection signs (the healthy/non-respiratory group); Children who had a chest radiography at the hospital (the Hosp-CXR group); and children with community-acquired alveolar pneumonia (CAAP).Rate ratios (RRs; 95% CI) were calculated, comparing between late-13-valent PCV (PCV13) period (2016–2017) and early-PCV period (2009–2010). Rate ratios were adjusted for antibiotic administration, seasonality and ethnicity, and separate calculations were performed for 6–11 and 12–23 month old children.ResultsOverall, 51% of 8627 nasopharyngeal cultures were positive.In 2009–2010 (early-PCV period), the overall carriage rate was 55%; serotypes included in the PCV13 carriage rates were 28%, 31% and 38% in the healthy/non-respiratory, Hosp-CXR, and CAAP groups, respectively.Overall carriage rates in healthy/non-respiratory episodes were stable (~54%) when comparing between 2016 and 17 and 2009–10 (RR = 0.98; 0.84–1.15). In contrast, rates significantly declined for Hosp-CXR (RR = 0.78; 0.63–0.98) and CAAP (RR = 0.65; 0.47–0.89). These trends were driven by ~ 80% VT reductions, coupled with non-VT increase.ConclusionsFollowing 7-valent PCV/ PCV13 introduction, pneumococcal carriage rates declined in respiratory diseases, but not in healthy children and children without respiratory infections. These trends suggest that a reduction in pneumococcal carriage rates during respiratory infections indicates a decline in respiratory infections caused by VT, while carriage rates in non-respiratory cases reflect non-VT predominance, that have low disease potential for respiratory disease. 相似文献

BackgroundPneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for pneumococcal disease. Little is known about whether social contact frequency and intensity are associated with pneumococcal carriage. In Fiji, indigenous iTaukei have higher prevalence of pneumococcal carriage compared with Fijians of Indian Descent (FID). We hypothesised that contact differences may contribute to ethnic differences in pneumococcal carriage prevalence and density.MethodsIn 2015, young infants (5–8 weeks), toddlers (12–23 months), children (2–6 years), and caregivers from Suva and surrounding areas, participated in a cross-sectional survey (n = 2014), three years post pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction. Demographic and contact data, and nasopharyngeal swabs were collected. Pneumococci were detected, and quantified using quantitative real-time PCR, with molecular serotyping by microarray. Associations between ethnicity, contact, and pneumococcal carriage and density were estimated using multivariable generalised estimating equation regression models.ResultsiTaukei participants had larger household sizes, higher pneumococcal carriage rates, more contacts, and more frequent contacts of longer duration, compared with FID. The odds of vaccine-type carriage increased by 28% (95% CI 8–53%) P < 0.01 in association with physical contact with 7–14 year old children. iTaukei ethnicity was associated with vaccine-type carriage (aOR) 1.73; 95% CI 1.06–2.82, P = 0.03) and non-vaccine type carriage (aOR 5.98; 95% CI 4.47–8.00, P < 0.01). Ethnicity and contact were not associated with pneumococcal density.ConclusionsiTaukei had greater frequency and intensity of contact compared with FID. Physical contact was associated with pneumococcal carriage. Observed differences in pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence between iTaukei and FID were not explained by differences in social contact patterns by ethnicity. 相似文献

BackgroundThe 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) was introduced for childhood vaccination in Brazil’s National Immunization Program in 2010. After nine years of PCV10 use, we investigated the carriage prevalence, capsular types, antimicrobial resistance and risk factors among children living in Niterói city, RJ, Brazil.MethodsBetween September and December 2019, we conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited children under 6 years of age. Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated by the disk-diffusion method and MICs to beta-lactams and macrolides were determined by E-test®. Capsular types were deduced by multiplex PCR. Logistic regression was used to predict risk factors for pneumococcal carriage.ResultsSeventy-five (17.4%) of the 430 children were pneumococcal carriers. The most frequent capsular types were 6C/D (14.7%), 11A/D (13.3%), and 23B (9.3%). PCV10 serotypes represented 5.3%. All isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin, linezolid, rifampicin, and vancomycin. Penicillin non-susceptible pneumococci (PNSP) made up 37.3%, with penicillin and ceftriaxone MICs ranging from 0.12 to 4.0 μg/ml and 0.064–4.0 μg/ml, respectively. Of the 19 (25.3%) erythromycin-resistant (ERY-R) isolates (macrolide MICs of 6 to >256 μg/ml), most had the cMLSB phenotype (84.2%) and carried the erm(B) gene (73.7%). We detected 17 (22.6%) multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates, strongly associated with serotype 6C/D. Presence of any symptoms, chronic diseases, childcare center attendance, living with young siblings, slum residence, and unstable income were predictors of pneumococcal carriage.ConclusionsLong-term universal childhood use of PCV10 has nearly eliminated carriage with PCV10 serotypes, but the high frequency of MDR isolates, especially associated with serotype 6C/D, remains a concern. Replacing PCV10 with PCV13 should reduce the proportion of ERY-R isolates and PNSP by at least 14% and 18%, respectively. 相似文献

BackgroundThe carriage prevalence of pneumococcus among community-dwelling older adults is not fully understood, especially in superaged societies. Our purpose was to elucidate the carriage prevalence of pneumococcus in the upper respiratory tract among Japanese community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of generally healthy community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years in Nagasaki city, Japan. Demographic and clinical data and nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal and saliva samples were collected from February 21st, 2018, to December 17th, 2018. The specimens were tested by culture and molecular methods.ResultsAmong a total of 504 enrolled participants, none were positive for pneumococcus by culture, and 22 were positive by PCR. The overall carriage prevalence was 4.4% (95% CI: 2.8–6.5%). The prevalence was highest in saliva samples, followed by oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal samples. No demographic characteristics were associated with carriage prevalence, including age (4.7% among participants aged 65–74 years and 4.1% among those 75 years and older). Among the pneumococcal-positive participants, 18.2% were PCV13-covered serotypes.ConclusionsOur data suggest a low carriage prevalence of S. pneumoniae among community-dwelling older people in Japan. 相似文献

Brazil introduced the 10-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV10) to the routine national immunization program (NIP) in March 2010. In 2017, we investigated the effects of PCV10 on nasopharyngeal carriage of vaccine-types (VT) and non-vaccine-types (NVT) of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) among children living in São Paulo city. We also compared the prevalence of VT and NVT with previous carriage surveys performed in 2010 (baseline) and 2013.MethodThe carriage survey was conducted among 531 children, aged 12 months to <24 months, recruited from public Primary Health Units during the immunization campaign, using previous surveys methodology, except for qPCR, which was performed in the 2017 survey only.ResultsNo statistical difference was found in the prevalence of Spn either by culture (59.7%) or by qPCR (61.2%). Spn carriage increased from 40.3% (baseline) to 59.7% (2017 survey) (p < 0.001). Colonization by VT isolates significantly decreased by 90.9% (19.8–1.8%) and 95.5% (19.8–0.9%) in the 2013 and 2017 surveys, respectively, compared to that at baseline. NVT isolates increased significantly by 128% (19.6–44.8%) and 185% (19.6–55.9%) in the respective post-PCV10 surveys, most led to high prevalence of serotypes 6C (27%), 15B (9.8%), 19A (9.2%), 15A (6.0%), and 16F (5.7%). In 2017, reduction in serotype 6A (4.2–0.6%, p < 0.001) and increase in serotype 19A (1.8–6.0%, p = 0.001) were found; serotype 3 isolate was not detected in the present survey. We identified the emergence of 19A isolates CC320, associated with high penicillin (MIC ≥ 2.0 mg/L) and cefotaxime (MIC ≥ 1.0 mg/L) values.ConclusionAfter 7 years of PCV10 introduction in the NIP, colonization by VT among toddlers decreased substantially to a residual level, along with substantial serotype replacement by novel serotypes not present in any current conjugated pneumococcal vaccine and serotype 19A. The present findings can assist policy decisions in Brazil. 相似文献

BackgroundSouth Korea has been providing 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine/(PCV10)/13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) to children and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) to older adults as part of a national immunization program.MethodsFrom September 2015 to August 2017, a prospective cohort study was conducted for adults aged ≥19 years with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) at four university hospitals. All-cause and pneumococcal CAP incidence and mortality rates were evaluated on the basis of hospital catchment population. Serotype distribution of pneumococcal CAP was also evaluated.ResultsAmong 2669 patients with CAP, 252 cases (9.4%) were pneumococcal CAP cases. The annual incidences of all-cause and pneumococcal CAP were 194.3 cases and 18.3 cases respectively, per 100,000 persons. Serotyped Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified in 107 cases (42.5%) through culture or a serotype-specific urinary antigen detection assay. Pneumococcal CAP caused by the PCV13 and PPSV23 serotypes were 50 cases (46.7% of serotyped pneumococcal CAP and 19.8% of pneumococcal CAP), and 83 cases (77.6% of serotyped pneumococcal CAP and 32.9% of pneumococcal CAP), respectively. The most prevalent serotype was 3 (n = 21, 19.6% of serotyped pneumococcal CAP), followed by 19A (n = 10, 9.3% of serotyped pneumococcal CAP) and 11A (n = 10, 9.3% of serotyped pneumococcal CAP). Compared with non-pneumococcal CAP patients, pneumococcal CAP patients were more likely to have a higher CURB-65 scores (P = 0.002). The overall 30-day mortality rate of pneumococcal CAP was higher than that of non-pneumococcal CAP (6.3% versus 5.6%; odds ratio [OR], 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67–1.96), but this trend was reversed in patients aged 65–74 years (4.2% versus 8.6%; OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.14–1.54).ConclusionsThe disease burden of PCV13-serotype pneumococcal CAP remains significantly high in Korean adults, particularly among elderly people, even after a high uptake of pediatric PCVs. 相似文献

BackgroundStreptococcus pneumoniae can cause many infectious diseases among children, and relevant vaccines have not been scheduled into the National Immunization Program in China. The serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae is essential information used to evaluate the value of pneumococcal vaccines and formulate immunization strategies.MethodsStreptococcus pneumoniae isolates, identified as the disease pathogens, were collected from children hospitalized in Beijing Children’s Hospital from 2013 to 2019. The serotype was detected by the Quellung reaction.ResultsA total of 903 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were collected, among which 809 were from non-invasive infections and 94 were from invasive infections. The non-invasive isolates were mainly isolated from respiratory secretions (49.4%) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (38.9%), while invasive isolates were from venous blood (5.4%), cerebrospinal fluid (2.8%) and pleural effusion (2.8%). The leading serotypes were 19F (36.0%), 19A (13.6%), 23F (9.4%), 14 (8.9%), 6A (6.9%), and 6B (5.3%). The overall coverage rates of 10-, 13-, 15-, 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV10, PCV13, PCV15, PCV20) and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) as well as Pneumosil (a 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) were 61.6%, 83.2%, 83.4%, 88.0%, 82.4% and 81.6%, respectively. The coverage rates of PCV13, PCV15 and PPV23 in isolates from invasive infections were significantly higher than those from non-invasive infections. The coverage rates of Pneumosil, either on the whole or among different age groups or different infections, were significantly higher than those of PCV10.ConclusionsSerotypes 19F, 19A, 23F, 14, 6A and 6B were the most common types among the isolates. As for pneumococcal vaccines available now, the coverage rate of PCV13 was high, especially in isolates from invasive infections. The promotion of PCV13 or further high valent vaccines might be of greater benefit in preventing pneumococcal infections than other pneumococcal vaccines in children. 相似文献

Objective(s)In the context of age- and risk-based pneumococcal vaccine recommendations in Canada, this study presents updated data from active surveillance of pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (pCAP) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in hospitalized adults from 2010 to 2017.MethodsS. pneumoniae was detected using culture (blood and sputum), and urine antigen detection (UAD). Serotyping was performed with Quellung, PCR, or using the PCV13- and PPV23 (non-PCV13)-specific UADs. Laboratory results, demographic, and outcome data were categorized by age (16–49, 50–64, and 65 + ) and by disease [non-bacteremic pCAP, bacteremic pCAP, and IPD(non-CAP)].Results11,129 CAP cases and 216 cases of IPD (non-CAP) were identified. Laboratory testing for S. pneumoniae was performed in 8912 CAP cases, identifying 1264 (14.2%) as pCAP. Of pCAP cases, 811 (64.1%) were non-bacteremic and 455 (35.9%) were bacteremic. Adults 65 + years represented 54.5% of non-bacteremic pCAP, 41.4% of bacteremic pCAP, and 48.6% of IPD cases. Adults 50–64 years contributed 30.3%, 33.1%, and 29.9%, respectively. In pCAP, PCV13 serotypes declined between 2010 and 2014 due to declines in serotypes 7F and 19A, then plateaued from 2015 to 2017 with persistence of serotype 3. In later study years, non-bacteremic pCAP was predominant, and PPV23 (non-PCV13) serotypes increased from 2015 to 2017, with serotypes 22F, 11A, and 9 N being most frequently identified. Compared to non-pCAP, pCAP cases were more likely to be admitted to intensive care units and require mechanical ventilation. These outcomes and mortality were more common in bacteremic pCAP and IPD, versus non-bacteremic pCAP.Conclusion(s)Along with IPD, pCAP surveillance (bacteremic and non-bacteremic) is important as their trends may differ over time. With insufficient herd protection from PCV13 childhood immunization, or use of PPV23 in adults, this study supports direct adult immunization with PCV13 or higher valency conjugate vaccines to reduce the residual burden of pCAP and IPD. 相似文献

BackgroundPapua New Guinea (PNG) introduced the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in 2014, with administration at 1, 2, and 3 months of age. PCV13 has reduced or eliminated carriage of vaccine types in populations with low pneumococcal carriage prevalence, carriage density and serotype diversity. This study investigated PCV13 impact on serotype-specific pneumococcal carriage prevalence, density, and serotype diversity in PNG infants, who have some of the highest reported rates of pneumococcal carriage and disease in the world.MethodsNasopharyngeal swabs were collected at 1, 4 and 9 months of age from PCV13-vaccinated infants (n = 57) and age-/season-matched, unvaccinated infants (at approximately 1 month, n = 53; 4 months, n = 57; 9 months, n = 52). Serotype-specific pneumococcal carriage density and antimicrobial resistance genes were identified by qPCR and microarray.ResultsPneumococci were present in 89% of swabs, with 60 different serotypes and four non-encapsulated variants detected. Multiple serotype carriage was common (47% of swabs). Vaccine type carriage prevalence was similar between PCV13-vaccinated and unvaccinated infants at 4 and 9 months of age. The prevalence of non-vaccine type carriage was also similar between cohorts, with non-vaccine types present in three-quarters of samples (from both vaccinated and unvaccinated infants) by 4 months of age. The median pneumococcal carriage density was high and similar at each age group (~7.0 log10 genome equivalents/mL). PCV13 had no effect on overall pneumococcal carriage density, vaccine type density, non-vaccine type density, or the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance genes.ConclusionPNG infants experience dense and diverse pneumococcal colonisation with concurrent serotypes from 1 month of age. PCV13 had no impact on pneumococcal carriage density, even for vaccine serotypes. The low prevalence of vaccine serotypes, high pneumococcal carriage density and abundance of non-vaccine serotypes likely contribute to the lack of PCV13 impact on carriage in PNG infants. Indirect effects of the infant PCV programs are likely to be limited in PNG. Alternative vaccines with broader coverage should be considered. 相似文献

IntroductionPediatric pneumococcal pneumonia complicated by parapneumonic pleural effusion/empyema (PPE/PE) remains a major concern despite general immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).MethodsIn a nationwide pediatric hospital surveillance study in Germany we identified 584 children <18 years of age with bacteriologically confirmed PPE/PE from October 2010 to June 2018. Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified by culture and/or PCR of blood samples and/or pleural fluid and serotyped.ResultsS. pneumoniae was identified in 256 of 584 (43.8%) children by culture (n = 122) and/or PCR (n = 207). The following pneumococcal serotypes were detected in 114 children: serotype 3 (42.1%), 1 (25.4%), 7F (12.3%), 19A (7.9%), other PCV13 serotypes (4.4%) and non-PCV13 serotypes (7.9%). Between October 2010 and June 2014 serotype 1 (38.1%) and serotype 3 (25.4%) were most prevalent, whereas between July 2014 and June 2018 serotype 3 (62.7%) and non-PCV13 serotypes (15.7%) were dominant. Compared to children with other pneumococcal serotypes, children with serotype 3 associated PPE/PE were younger (median 3.2 years [IQR 2.1–4.3 years] vs. median 5.6 years [IQR 3.8–8.2 years]; p < 0.001) and more frequently admitted to intensive care (43 [89.6%] vs. 48 [73.8%]; p = 0.04). Seventy-six of 114 (66.7%) children with pneumococcal PPE/PE had been vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccines. Thirty-nine of 76 (51.3%) had received a vaccine covering the serotype detected. Thirty of these 39 breakthrough cases were age-appropriately vaccinated with PCV13 and considered vaccine failures, including 26 children with serotype 3, three children with serotype 19A and one child with serotype 1.ConclusionFollowing the introduction of PCV13 in general childhood vaccination we observed a strong emergence of serotype 3 associated PPE/PE in the German pediatric population, including a considerable number of younger children with serotype 3 vaccine breakthrough cases and failures. Future PCVs should not only cover newly emerging serotypes, but also include a more effective component against serotype 3. 相似文献

BackgroundThe widespread use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has significantly decreased pneumococcal disease worldwide. However, China has not adopted PCVs in their national immunization schedules and had only approved these vaccines for children aged 2–15 months by 2020.MethodsIn an open-label trial, enrolled healthy children aged 2–5 years old were randomized 1:1 and divided into a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) group and a Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine (Hib) group. Children in the PCV7 group received a single dose of PCV7, and the Hib group received a single dose of Hib vaccine. Blood samples were collected before and 6 months after vaccination. Immunogenicity and safety of PCV7 were assessed at prespecified time points.ResultsSix months after a single dose of PCV7, children in the PCV7 group for all 7 serotypes, IgG mean concentrations (GMCs) and opsonophagocytic geometric mean titres (GMTs) were significantly higher (P < .001) than at baseline, and the proportion of IgG ≥ 0.35 µg/mL ranged from 90.0% to 100%. Although the antibody level increased with age, preexisting antibodies did not induce hyporesponsiveness to PCV7. In the Hib group, the antibody levels were not significantly different or had changed slightly at 6 months. PCV7 was well tolerated in all age groups, and no serious adverse events (AEs) emerged during this study.ConclusionsA single dose of PCV7 was immunogenic and safe for Chinese children aged 2–5 years, and the preexisting antibodies against the PCV7 serotypes did not change the response to vaccination. The findings supported the effectiveness of PCV7 in this age group. PCVs with broader serotype coverage are expected to expand pneumococcal disease protection. 相似文献

BackgroundPediatric pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) introduction has directly and indirectly reduced pneumococcal pneumonia and invasive disease caused by PCV-covered serotypes among children and adults globally. In Japan, both PCV7 and PCV13 were introduced into the national immunization program (NIP) for children in 2013. However, the long-term impact of PCV use in children on adult pneumococcal pneumonia in Japan remains unclear.MethodsWe assessed serotypes isolated from adult pneumococcal pneumonia patients (in- and outpatients) in two multicenter observational studies in Japan: 2011–2014 and 2016–2020. The latter study period was divided into two periods to evaluate changes after PCV introduction in children. The Quellung reaction was used to determine serotypes. We evaluated trends of individual and vaccine-covered serotypes over three periods and assessed the difference in changes by patient group before and after the introduction of pediatric PCVs.ResultsA total of 650 patients were enrolled: 224, 322, and 104 in 2011–2014, 2016–2017, and 2018–2020, respectively. The median age was 73 years; 59.7% (388/650) were male; 86.9% (565/650) had comorbidities; and 10.2% (66/650) were nursing-home residents. The proportion of PCV13 serotypes decreased from 52.7% in 2011–2014 to 30.4% in 2016–2017 (p <0.001) after PCV13 introduction for children. However, PCV13, PCV15, and PCV20 serotypes still accounted for 38.5, 43.3, and 59.6% of total pneumococcal pneumonia in 2018–2020, respectively. Decline of PCV13 serotypes was more marked in patients aged ≥65 (-23.5%; p <0.001) than those aged <65 (-12.3%; p = 0.104) from 2011–2014 to 2016–2020. The proportion of PPSV23 non-PCV13 serotypes didn’t change over time.ConclusionsThe proportion of adult pneumococcal pneumonia caused by PCV13 serotypes in Japan declined after pediatric PCVs introduction into NIP, possibly due to indirect effects of pediatric PCVs. However, use of new PCVs in Japanese adults may potentially prevent additional pneumococcal pneumonia cases. Now, pneumococcal vaccination strategy for older adults requires discussion. 相似文献

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate whether systemic immunization with a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed by intranasal (IN) immunization with phosphorylcholine (PC) can boost immune response against Streptococcus pneumoniae.Materials and methodsTwo weeks after the intraperitoneal (IP) injection of PCV13, mice were divided into two groups (mice requiring another IP injection of PCV13 and mice requiring PC-keyhole limpet hemocyanin IN immunization in combination with cholera toxin as a mucosal adjuvant) to compare the magnitude of systemic and mucosal immune responses against S. pneumoniae and PC.ResultsSerum immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibody titer against the vaccine strains of S. pneumoniae was similar between the PCV13 systemic immunization group and PC IN immunization group, while the serum IgG antibody titer against PC was significantly higher in the PC IN immunization group. PC-specific IgA antibody titer in the nasal lavage and PC-specific IgA-producing cell number in the nasal mucosa were also significantly higher in the PC IN immunization group. Induction of PC-specific IgA in the PC IN immunization group enhanced the clearance of bacteria from the middle ear.ConclusionAdditional IN immunization with PC after PCV13 immunization, which is currently conducted under a periodic vaccination program, can produce a booster effect comparable to that achieved by additional systemic immunization as well as PC-specific mucosal immune response, thereby providing protection against S. pneumoniae serotypes not contained in PCV13. 相似文献

BackgroundIn the era of childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization, especially 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) immunization, serotype replacement of Streptococcus pneumoniae and herd immunity in adults have been reported worldwide. Therefore, continuous evaluation of the effectiveness of the pneumococcal vaccine in adults is crucial because vaccine effectiveness may change owing to these factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) against all-cause pneumonia and pneumococcal pneumonia in older individuals with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) after the introduction of childhood PCV13 in Japan, a topic that has remained largely unexplored.MethodsWe evaluated pneumococcal vaccine effectiveness in this multicenter, matched case-control study conducted in hospitals and clinics. Cases included patients (aged ≥ 65 years) newly diagnosed with CAP between October 2016 and September 2019. A maximum of five non-pneumonia control patients matched for sex, school grade, date of outpatient visit, and medical institution were selected for each case. Conditional logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of pneumococcal vaccines for the occurrence of all-cause CAP and pneumococcal CAP.ResultsThe analysis included 740 individuals (142 patients and 598 controls). The median age of participants was 75 years (men: 54%). The adjusted OR for pneumococcal vaccination against all-cause CAP was 1.31 (95% CI: 0.84–2.06), while that for PPSV23 vaccination in the previous 5 years was 1.33 (95% CI: 0.85–2.09). The adjusted OR for PPSV23 vaccination in the previous 5 years against pneumococcal CAP was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.35–2.50).ConclusionsThis study was unable to demonstrate the effectiveness of PPSV23 against all-cause and pneumococcal pneumonia after the introduction of childhood PCV13 in Japan. Nonetheless, additional studies are needed to validate these results. 相似文献

Childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) protects against invasive pneumococcal disease caused by vaccine-serotype (VT) Streptococcus pneumoniae by generating opsonophagocytic anti-capsular antibodies, but how vaccination protects against and reduces VT carriage is less well understood. Using serological samples from PCV-vaccinated Malawian individuals and a UK human challenge model, we explored whether antibody quality (IgG subclass, opsonophagocytic killing, and avidity) is associated with protection from carriage. Following experimental challenge of adults with S. pneumoniae serotype 6B, 3/21 PCV13-vaccinees were colonised with pneumococcus compared to 12/24 hepatitis A-vaccinated controls; PCV13-vaccination induced serotype-specific IgG, IgG1, and IgG2, and strong opsonophagocytic responses. However, there was no clear relationship between antibody quality and protection from carriage or carriage intensity after vaccination. Similarly, among PCV13-vaccinated Malawian infants there was no relationship between serotype-specific antibody titre or quality and carriage through exposure to circulating serotypes. Although opsonophagocytic responses were low in infants, antibody titre and avidity to circulating serotypes 19F and 6A were maintained or increased with age. These data suggest a complex relationship between antibody-mediated immunity and pneumococcal carriage, and that PCV13-driven antibody quality may mature with age and exposure. 相似文献

BackgroundHigh pneumococcal carriage density has been associated with severe pneumonia in some settings. The impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) on pneumococcal carriage density has been variable. The aim of this systematic literature review is to describe the effect of PCV7, PCV10 and PCV13 on pneumococcal colonisation density in children under five years old.MethodsWe included peer reviewed English literature published between 2000 and 2021 to identify relevant articles using Embase, Medline and PubMed. Original research articles of any study design in countries where PCV has been introduced/studied were included. Quality (risk) assessment was performed using tools developed by the National Heart Brain and Lung Institute for inclusion in this review. We used a narrative synthesis to present results.ResultsTen studies were included from 1941 articles reviewed. There were two randomised controlled trials, two cluster randomised trials, one case control study, one retrospective cohort study and four cross sectional studies. Three studies used semiquantitative culture methods to determine density while the remaining studies used quantitative molecular techniques. Three studies reported an increase in density and three studies found a decrease in density among vaccinated compared with unvaccinated children. Four studies found no effect. There was considerable heterogeneity in the study populations, study design and laboratory methods.ConclusionThere was no consensus regarding the impact of PCV on pneumococcal nasopharyngeal density. We recommend the use of standardised methods to evaluate PCV impact on density. 相似文献

PurposeCommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infection with significant morbidity and mortality. In January 2017, Poland introduced pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) into their national immunisation programme to protect children against invasive pneumococcal disease. This study was designed to investigate pneumonia-related hospitalisation rates and trends from 2009 to 2016 prior to the introduction of nationally funded PCV vaccination.MethodsUsing national public statistic data available from the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene, annual hospitalisation rates for pneumonia were analysed, categorised by aetiology and age (<2, 2–3, 4–5, 6–19, 20–59, 60+ years). Trends over time were assessed, as well as in-hospital mortality.ResultsThe overall hospitalisation rate due to pneumonia varied between 325.9 and 372.2/100,000 population. Higher rates of hospitalisation were seen in older adults and children ≤5 years. Trends were observed when analysing hospitalisations by pneumonia aetiology within age groups: between 2009 and 2016, Streptococcus pneumoniae hospitalisations significantly increased for children aged <2, 2–3, and 4–5 years, from 5.3 to 12.4, 5.2 to 8.2, and 1.9 to 4.6/100,000 population respectively. Whereas hospitalisations due to Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia decreased significantly from 7.8 to 1.8 and 4.8 to 1.9/100,000 children aged <2 and 2–3 years respectively. The numbers of in-hospital deaths increased from 5578 in 2009 to 8149 in 2016, with >85% of deaths in the 60+ age group.ConclusionsThis is the first national study of pneumonia hospitalisations in Poland, providing the baseline data from which to investigate the impact of the change in vaccination policy on pneumonia hospitalisations in Poland. 相似文献

Etiology and serotyping of parapneumonic effusion (PPE) and the impact of vaccination was evaluated over a 12-year period, before and after the PCV13 introduction (2011) for Italian children From 0 to 16 years of age.Five hundred and two children were evaluated; 226 blood and 356 pleural fluid samples were obtained and tested using Realtime-PCR and culture. In the pre-PCV13 era S. pneumoniae was the most frequent pathogen identified (64/90; 71.1%) with a large predominance of serotypes 1 (42.4%), 3 (23.7%), 7F (5.1%) and 19A (11.9%).The impact of vaccination, calculated on children 0–8 years of age, demonstrated a significant reduction of PPE: with an incidence rate of 2.82 (95%CL 2.32–3.41) in the pre-PCV13 era and an age-standardized rate (ASR) of 0.66 (95% CL 0.37–1.99) in the post-PCV13 era, p < 0.0001. No increase in non-PCV13 serotypes was recorded. S. pneumoniae remained the most frequent pathogen identified in the post-PCV13 era in unvaccinated children with an unchanged serotype distribution: respectively 26/66 (39.4%), 25/66 (37.9%), 5/66 (7.6%), and 4/66 (6.1%) for 1, 3, 7F and 19A. On the other hand 7F and 19A disappeared in vaccinated children and serotype 1 and 3 decreased by 91.8% and 31.5%, respectively. Realtime PCR was significantly more sensitive than culture both in pleural fluid (79.7% vs 12.5%) and in blood (17.8% vs 7.4%).In conclusion, our findings indicate that routine immunization with PCV13 has significantly reduced the burden of childhood PPE in vaccinated children, without increasing PPE due to other bacteria and without serotype shift. Moreover, the impact of PCV13 may be underestimated due to the increase in pneumococcal surveillance in Italy. Data has also shown that Real-time PCR is an essential tool to better define the etiology of PPE and to monitor vaccination plans. Longer studies will be necessary to evaluate the role of herd protection in PPE prevention. 相似文献

BackgroundInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in children and elderly populations. Serotype distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of IPD isolates are changing with the implementation of pneumococcal vaccination and increasing antibiotic use worldwide. We aimed to determine serotype distribution, antibiogram, and molecular epidemiology of pneumococci in the late stage of PCV13 era.MethodsProspective multicenter IPD surveillance study was conducted for adults aged ≥ 19 years from July 2019 to June 2021. Clinical and epidemiologic data were collected. In addition, antibiotic susceptibility test, serotype identification and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) was taken for pneumococcal isolates.ResultsA total of 160 IPD cases were collected with mean age of 65.1 years (male, 72.5%). Serotyping was taken for 116 available pneumococcal isolates. PCV13 and PPSV23 serotypes were 32.8% (n = 38) and 56.0% (n = 65), respectively. Serotype 3 (13.8%) and 19A (9.5%) were the most common causative agents of IPD, followed by serogroup 11 (6.9%), 23A (6.9%), 10A (4.3%), and 15B (4.3%). Notably, 32.5% of invasive pneumococcal isolates were non-susceptible to ceftriaxone. Serotypes 11A, 11E and 19A pneumococci showed high ceftriaxone non-susceptible rate (80%, 100% and 81.8% respectively), and they were related to sequence type (ST) 166 and ST320. In comparison, most serotype 3 isolates were ceftriaxone susceptible and related to ST180.ConclusionsPCV serotypes, especially 3 and 19A, are still prevalent in adult IPDs, suggesting that individual PCV13 immunization would be necessary for the elderly people and chronically ill patients. Ceftriaxone non-susceptible rate was remarkably high in invasive pneumococcal isolates. 相似文献
