ABSTRACT
Streptococcus pneumoniae is still one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Japan, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)7 and PCV13 were licensed in 2010 and 2013, respectively. We conducted a nationwide paediatric invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and non-IPD surveillance study in Japan between 2015 and 2017. We collected 498 IPD isolates and 231 non-IPD isolates from a total of 187 medical institutions in Japan. We performed serotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and multi-locus sequencing typing (MLST) for the collected isolates. Among the 498 IPD isolates, the most prevalent serotype was 24F, followed by 12F, 15A and 15B/C. However, 12F increased and 24F significantly decreased during the study period (p < 0.001), resulting in 12F becoming the most prevalent serotype in 2017. Among the IPD isolates, the PCV7 and PCV13 coverage rates were 0.8% and 9.2%, respectively. The most prevalent serotype among the non-IPD isolates was 15A, followed by 35B, 15B/C and 19A. The overall resistance rates to penicillin (PG), cefotaxime (CTX), meropenem (MEM), erythromycin (EM) and levofloxacin (LFX) were 40.5%, 12.2%, 19.4%, 91.8% and 0.5%, respectively. PG, CTX and MEM resistance rates were significantly higher in non-IPD isolates than in IPD isolates (p < 0.001). Serotype 15A-CC63 and serotype 35B-CC558 tended to be multi-drug resistant. In conclusion, the PCV13 coverage rate was significantly lower than that in a previous surveillance study in Japan between 2012 and 2014, and IPD cases attributable to serotype 19A also decreased. We should note the rapid increase in the prevalence of serotype 12F in IPD cases and the spread of the multi-drug resistant serotype 15A-CC63 and 35B-CC558 lineages.
