Protocol for a phase IV double-blind randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine on pneumococcal colonisation using the experimental human pneumococcal challenge model in healthy adults (PREVENTING PNEUMO 2)

23-Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccination Does Not Prevent Community-Acquired Pneumonia Hospitalizations Due to Vaccine-Type Streptococcus pneumoniae

Thomas Chandler et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effectiveness of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) for preventing hospitalization due to serotype-specific community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The results showed that PPSV23 did not offer protection against CAP hospitalization caused by the vaccine-contained serotypes. This study highlights the importance of developing more effective vaccines for the prevention of hospitalization due to S. pneumoniae CAP.

Experimental Human Pneumococcal Colonization in Older Adults Is Feasible and Safe, Not Immunogenic

Hugh Adler et al.

Summary: This study conducted experimental pneumococcal colonization in healthy adults aged 50-84 years and found that colonization was feasible and safe in older adults, with different immunological outcomes compared to previous studies in younger adults.

Dynamics of Pneumococcal Carriage in Adults: A New Look at an Old Paradigm

Sonia T. Almeida et al.

Summary: The study found that the pneumococcal carrier state in healthy adults is more dynamic than generally assumed, with frequent acquisition and often long duration of carriage. This suggests that some adults may act as reservoirs of pneumococci, impacting the potential herd effects achievable through children vaccination depending on the community's social structure. These findings are important for designing strategies to prevent pneumococcal disease in adults.

Experimental Human Challenge Defines Distinct Pneumococcal Kinetic Profiles and Mucosal Responses between Colonized and Non-Colonized Adults

Elissavet Nikolaou et al.

Summary: This study utilized a human challenge model to investigate host-pathogen interactions following exposure to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Results showed that nasal colonization can take up to 24 hours to become established, and two distinct bacterial clearance profiles were associated with protection. These findings are crucial for design and testing of novel vaccine candidates.

Effectiveness of the 7-and 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines Against Vaccine-Serotype Otitis Media

Ron Dagan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the 7-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal vaccines are effective in protecting against otitis media caused by specific serotypes, especially serotypes 19F and 19A.

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Impact on Serotype 3: A Review of Surveillance Data

Heather L. Sings et al.

Summary: The study indicates that PCV13 provides a certain degree of direct and indirect protection against serotype 3, while PCV10 does not contain serotype 3, leading to a rapid increase in serotype 3 disease rates in countries introducing PCV10. Countries introducing PCV13 experienced a modest decline followed by an upward trend in serotype 3 incidence rates in the years after vaccine introduction.
