Streptococcus pneumoniae causes several diseases such as otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. The polysaccharide conjugate vaccines led to reduction of pneumococcal invasive disease caused by serotypes included in the vaccine formulation, but substitution by non-vaccine serotypes was observed. New vaccine formulations are thus necessary to control pneumococcal diseas…
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen, causing diseases such as otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis. The polysaccharide conjugate vaccines are based on the induction of antibodies against the capsular polysaccharide and are very efficient in preventing invasive disease in children. Substitution by non-vaccine serotypes in colonization of the nas…
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen, causing diseases such as otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis. Polysaccharide conjugate vaccines (PCV) are based on the induction of antibodies against capsular polysaccharides and they are very efficient against invasive pneumococcal infections. The widespread use of PCVs has also led to an increase in colo…
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen, causing severe diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, bacteremia and sepsis. The currently available vaccines are based on the response to the capsular polysaccharide and they have some shortcomings, such as high production cost and coverage restricted to the serotypes included in the formulation. The use of the 7-valent conjugate …

Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a component of the human microbiota, but in some cases it can cause diseases such as Sinusitis, Otitis Media, Pneumonia, Sepsis and Meningitis. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to control pneumococcal infections. The first generation pneumococcal vaccines are composed by free capsular polysaccharides (PS), inducing temporary protecti…

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen, causing many severe diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, bacteremia and sepsis. The vaccines currently available are based on the induction of antibodies against the capsular polysaccharide, but they present some disadvantages, such as high cost and coverage restricted to serotypes included in the formulations.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a component of human microbiota, but in some cases it can cause serious diseases. Vaccines are the most important way to control pneumococcal infections and there are currently two licensed vaccines based on capsular polysaccharides (PS). The pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) led to an impressive decrease in the cases of invasive pneumoco…
