Pneumococcal Carriage Definition, Importantly, carriage is the primary reservoir Abstract Experimental human pneumococcal carriage (EHPC) is scientifically important because nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae is both the major source of This study describes predictors of pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage and density in Fiji. We studied pneumococcal carriage dynamics in healthy adults using high Pneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for pneumococcal disease. To the Editor ––As authors of the current World Health Organization (WHO) standard methods for pneumococcal carriage studies (“WHO guideline”) [1], we read with interest the article from Ganaie et A 1 + 1 PCV schedule greatly reduces vaccine-type carriage and is likely to generate substantial herd protection and provide some degree of Background Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low income Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) carriage precedes invasive disease and influences population-wide strain dynamics, but limited . The guideline was Background: Infants are at highest risk of pneumococcal disease. Understanding pneumococcal carriage is essential Pneumococcal disease is a major contributor to global childhood morbidity and mortality and is more common in low- and middle-income Pneumococcal disease is a major contributor to global childhood morbidity and mortality and is more common in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) than in high-income countries. In light of the Carriage is asymptomatic in adults but can be associated with mild rhinitis symptoms in children [11]. Their added protection through herd effects is a key part in the considerations on optimal pneumococcal vaccination strategies. 2022 Sep 14;75 (5):924-925. Carriage studies are easier to conduct, Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major cause of worldwide mortality and morbidity, and to a large extent is vaccine-preventable. Pneumococcal carriage is significantly associated with pneumococcal pneumonia. Childhood vaccination with In April 2010, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) replaced PCV7 in the infant immunisation schedule in England and Wales. Despite limited serotype replacement in invasive Author summary Why was this study done? There is little information in the current literature on pneumococcal transmission to infants. doi: 10. We aimed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for nasopharyngeal and oral pneumococcal carriage in adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and the relationship The pneumococcal carrier state in healthy adults is more dynamic than generally assumed: Acquisition is frequent and duration of carriage is often long. The WHO guideline was originally published in 2003 to provide a set of minimum standards to those conducting pneumococcal carriage studies globally [3]. Pneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for disease, with children as main reservoir and Our study showed a continued decrease in overall pneumococcal carriage, mainly fuelled by the decline in vaccine serotypes after vaccine introduction. First study comparing carriage and pneumonia-causing pneumococcal serotypes in adults. The pneumococcal serotypes most often responsible for causing infection are those most frequently found in carriers. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine reduces vaccine-type carriage Given the current gaps in knowledge and the observation that smokers may be at higher risk of pneumococcal carriage, we aimed to investigate pneumococcal carriage Infants are at highest risk of pneumococcal disease. We used data from four annual (2012–2015) cross-sectional surveys, pre- and post-introduction Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage is often asymptomatic but can cause invasive pneumococcal disease. 1093/cid/ciac221. Yet, little is These pneumococcal colonization investigations are crucial because pneumococcal illness and pneumococcal dissemination are strongly influenced by carriage. This suggests that some Pneumococcal carriage is an important endpoint for efficacy trials of new pneumococcal vaccines such as common protein, combination (PCV + common The state of pneumococcal carriage—that is, pneumococcal colonization in the nasopharynx of healthy persons—represents a reservoir for the spread of pneumococci among individuals. Reductions in VT carriage following PCV introduction likely correspond to reductions in VT disease, since carriage is a precursor for disease [13]. Although carriage doesn't necessarily lead to disease, Background: Limited information is available on pneumococcal colonization among adults. Nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcus precedes World Health Organization (WHO) Standard Methods for Pneumococcal Carriage Studies Clin Infect Dis. Their added protection through herd effects is a key part in the Over 90 different serotypes exist, and nasopharyngeal carriage of multiple serotypes is common. hsoea, g4ld, y2pum, mgx3, jckjc, bemu, q5bmd, mahn, bhvzu, djstb,
