7-Valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccination in England and Wales: is it still beneficial despite high levels of serotype replacement? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: The UK introduced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) into the national vaccination program in September 2006. Previous modelling assumed that the likely impact of PCV7 on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) would be similar to

Monitoring the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines into West Africa: design and implementation of a population-based surveillance system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Routine use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in developing countries is expected to lead to a significant reduction in childhood deaths. However, PCVs have been associated with replacement disease with non-vaccine serotypes.

Clonal expansion within pneumococcal serotype 6C after use of seven-valent vaccine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes invasive infections, primarily at the extremes of life. A seven-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV7) is used to protect against invasive pneumococcal disease in children.

Adesão às novas vacinas conjugadas. Vacina anti-meningocócica e anti-pneumocócica.

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa, 2004
The new conjugate vaccines against group C meningococcal infection and pneumococcal infection were introduced in Portugal in 2001. In 2001/2002, the media published several alarming news on meningococcal disease and there was an increased demand of those

Pneumococcal carriage in sub-Saharan Africa--a systematic review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal epidemiology varies geographically and few data are available from the African continent. We assess pneumococcal carriage from studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) before and after the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)

The impact of specific and non-specific immunity on the ecology of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the implications for vaccination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
More than 90 capsular serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae coexist despite competing for nasopharyngeal carriage and a gradient in fitness. The underlying mechanisms for this are poorly understood and make assessment of the likely population impact of ...

open access: yesAJPM Focus
Introduction: Updated recommendations for adult pneumococcal vaccination in the U.S. (publication date: January 27, 2022) incorporated 2 new vaccines (15- and 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines), removed 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ...

Multiple Colonization with S. pneumoniae before and after Introduction of the Seven-Valent Conjugated Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Simultaneous carriage of more than one strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae promotes horizontal gene transfer events and may lead to capsule switch and acquisition of antibiotic resistance. We studied the epidemiology of cocolonization with S.
