Lessons learnt after the introduction of the seven valent-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine toward broader spectrum conjugate vaccines

Biomedical Journal, 2012
The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) is currently being introduced in the vaccine schedule of over 90 countries around the world. After the introduction of the PCV7 vaccine in the United States, a reduction of more than 90% of invasive ...

Antibody responses to nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in adults: A longitudinal household study [PDF]

, 2005
Background. Natural immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae is thought to be induced by exposure to S. pneumoniae or cross-reactive antigens. No longitudinal studies of carriage of and immune responses to S.

Immunological efficacy of pneumococcal vaccine strategies in HIV-infected adults: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare the immunologic response to a prime-boost immunization strategy combining the 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) with the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPSV23) versus the PPSV23 alone in

HIV: is it now a thing of the past?

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective antiviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has substantially reduced HIV‐associated morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV (PLWH). The use of antiviral therapies as prevention, most notably pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as well as treatment as prevention (TasP), has significantly reduced the number of new ...

Invasive Serotype 35B Pneumococci Including an Expanding Serotype Switch Lineage, United States, 2015–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We used whole-genome sequencing to characterize 199 nonvaccine serotype 35B pneumococcal strains that caused invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in the United States during 2015–2016 and related these findings to previous serotype 35B IPD data obtained ...

Nasopharyngeal S. pneumoniae carriage and density in Belgian infants after 9 years of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine programme [PDF]

, 2018
Background: In Belgium, the infant pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) programme changed from PCV7 (2007-2011) to PCV13 (2011-2015) and to PCV10 (2015-2016). A 3-year nasopharyngeal carriage study was initiated during the programme switch in 2016.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

Pneumococcal pneumonia and carriage in Africa before and after introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, 2000–2019: protocol for systematic review

BMJ Open, 2019
Introduction Africa harbours a high burden of pneumococcal disease, with associated high mortality rates. Despite 34 countries introducing the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, which reduces the risk of pneumococcal carriage (a prerequisite for disease) of
