Pneumococcal whole-cell and protein-based vaccines: changing the paradigm
Introduction: Epidemiologic evaluations of Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal (NP) colonization and pneumococcal disease suggest that newer serotypes in future formulations of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are needed and there may need to ...

Immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccines in comorbid autoimmune and chronic respiratory diseases [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media, and bacteremia. The mortality and morbidity of invasive pneumococcal disease are high among adults aged >65 years or those with underlying chronic or immunosuppressive conditions.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, commonly termed the pneumococcus, is a major pediatric pathogen both in developed and developing countries. Despite the availability of multiple antimicrobials to which this organism is susceptible, it continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality. Recognition of the limitations of antimicrobial therapy in controlling

Development of Next Generation Streptococcus pneumoniae Vaccines Conferring Broad Protection
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen causing pneumonia with over 2 million deaths annually, especially in young children and the elderly. To date, at least 98 different pneumococcal capsular serotypes have been identified. Currently, the vaccines
