Anticipating impact of implementing PCV20 or PCV21 vaccines for older adults in the immunisation programme for invasive pneumococcal disease, using nationwide surveillance data, Israel, 2009 to 2024 [PDF]
EurosurveillanceBACKGROUND Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have reduced vaccine-type (VT) invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in older adults through direct and indirect effects. However, non-vaccine-type serotypes have emerged.

Population-based analysis of invasive nontypeable pneumococci reveals that most have defective capsule synthesis genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Since nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcus precedes invasive pneumococcal disease, characteristics of carriage isolates could be incorrectly assumed to reflect those of invasive isolates.
