ABSTRACT
S. pneumoniae infection remains a serious public health concern despite the availability of vaccines covering up to 23 of more than 94 known serotypes. The purpose of the present study was to monitor recent serotype distribution data. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Reviews and Ingenta databases were searched. Serotype data covering invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and non-IPD were extracted from articles published from March 2014 to March 2015. Fifty-nine studies presented pneumococcal serotype prevalence by specific age categories. Most prevalent serotypes not covered by pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) were as follows 15B, 22F, 15A, 23A among children under the age of 7 y with IPD; among adults with IPD 22F, 11A, 10A, 38 in the 65 y and older age group; 12F, 9N, 8 in the 50-64 year-old age group and 12F, 8, 6C, 16F in the 15-59 age group. Geographic variations in serotype distribution highlight the importance of monitoring evolving pneumococcal serotype prevalence after pneumococcal vaccine implementation.
