Spread of multidrug resistance in non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae: A cross-sectional study ten years after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Japan

Ten years after the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in Japan, the prevalence rates of non-PCV13 and non-PCV20 serotypes among pediatric pneumococcal isolates were 94.0% and 73.7%, respectively. The predominant non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes (15A, 35B, and 23A) were mostly multidr...

Zusammenfassung:Ten years after the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in Japan, the prevalence rates of non-PCV13 and non-PCV20 serotypes among pediatric pneumococcal isolates were 94.0% and 73.7%, respectively. The predominant non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes (15A, 35B, and 23A) were mostly multidrug-resistant (≥80.5%), exhibiting non-susceptibility to penicillin.
