CC180 clade dynamics do not universally explain Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 persistence post-vaccine: a global comparative population genomics study
3 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clonal complex 180 (CC180) is currently the major clone of serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) causing disease among children and adults worldwide. The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) does not have significant efficacy against serotype 3 despite polysaccharide inclusion in the vaccine. It was hypothesized that PCV13 may effectively control Clade I of CC180 but that Clades III...
