Reduction in High Rates of Antibiotic-Nonsusceptible Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Tennessee after Introduction of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Abstract: In the 2 years since licensure, widespread PCV vaccination of children has resulted in dramatic declines in the proportion of antibiotic-nonsusceptible isolates in Tennessee. PCV vaccination of children also appears to be a highly effective method for reducing the burden of IPD in adults.

“…The annual incidence of invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae has decreased signifi cantly in all age groups with the introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) in 2000 (33). Further, disease caused by resistant S. pneumoniae has also decreased signifi cantly with the introduction of the PCV-7 vaccine, which targeted the resistant serotypes (33,34). Thus, antimicrobial drug resistance to S. pneumoniae seems unlikely to be responsible for the increase in empyema deaths since the introduction of PCV-7.…”

“…La vacuna heptavalente ha demostrado ser efectiva para reducir los niveles de resistencia a los antibióticos (50,53,54); un efecto similar se podría esperar en nuestro país debido a que los serotipos contenidos en la vacuna representan el 97,3% de los aislamientos con SDP. Sin embargo, como consecuencia de la vacunación se ha observado en los niños inmunizados una disminución en los serotipos vacunales con un incremento en la colonización por serotipos no contenidos en la vacuna, probablemente debido a un reemplazo de serotipos o al desenmascaramiento de poblaciones minoritarias de S. pneumoniae (50,54).…”

“…For example, the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccines has led to the reduction in resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae not only in the vaccinated population but also in the population as a whole. 61,62 The development of rapid point-of-care diagnostic tools may be of use to reduce clinical uncertainty, to save unnecessary antibiotic treatments, and to select effective antibiotics where resistance has rendered first-line treatment ineffective. 63 The recent discovery of a new antibiotic called teixobactin, with excellent activity against Grampositive pathogens, including drug-resistant strains, represents a hope for the future and an example for new researches.…”
