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

‘I Think From the Beginning, the Ambitions Were Compromised’: A Case Study of COVAX as Vaccine Equity Policy Operationalisation

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 59-70, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background COVAX was designed to support the discovery, development, and distribution of COVID‐19 vaccines globally, at scale and pace. This article examines how COVAX promoted vaccine equity and what lessons can be learnt. Methods Informed by a scoping review of lessons learnt from GHPs, we reviewed 109 documents related to COVAX and other ...

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.

Streptococcus pneumoniae HtrA is a dynamic and monomeric virulence factor capable of forming larger oligomeric complexes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract High‐temperature requirement A (HtrA) proteases are a conserved family of serine proteases central to protein quality control and bacterial virulence. While Gram‐negative and human HtrAs are structurally well studied, Gram‐positive homologs remain essentially uncharacterized.

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 ...

Primary Antibody Deficiency in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Call for Immunologic Evaluation Prior to Biologic Therapy

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 144-152, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is prevalent and causes a great negative impact on quality of life. Primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is highly prevalent with CRS compared to the background population. There are efficient treatment options to consider when CRS is a symptom of PAD. The condition seems to be underdiagnosed.
