Pneumococcal genetic variability influences age-dependent bacterial carriage

2021-03-03

Abstract excerpt

The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) primarily reduces disease burden in adults through a reduction in carriage prevalence of invasive serotypes in children. Current vaccine formulations are the same for both adults and children, but tailoring these formulations to age category could optimize vaccine efficacy. Identification of specific pneumococcal genetic factors associated with carriage in younger or older...
