Effect of childhood pneumococcal vaccination and beta-lactam antibiotic use on the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in the adult population.

Describe the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in serotypes with reduced antibiotic sensitivity to penicillin (RAS-Pen) in adults over 59 years of age and its association with childhood anti-pneumococcal vaccination coverage (CVC) and community consumption of beta-lactam. We selected IPD cases in adults over 59 years of age reported in the Community of Madrid between 2007 and 2016. We estimated the incidence of cases caused by serotypes included in the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), those not included (non-PCV13) and the six serotypes additional to the 7-valent (PCV13-no7). We compared the incidences of serotypes from the pre-vaccine period (2007-2009) and the vaccine period (2011-2016) by analysing the incidence trend (JointPoint Trend Analysis) and its association with the CVC and community consumption of beta-lactam (Poisson model). We identified 1936 cases of IPD, 29.2% (n = 565) in serotypes with RAS-Pen. The incidence decreased for PCV13 cases (annual percentage of change, APC: -12.2, p < 0.05) and increased for non-PCV13 (APC: 15.4, p < 0.05). The incidence of IPD due to non-PCV13 was associated with community beta-lactam consumption (IRR 1.156; CI95% 1.025-1.304) and that of cases of PCV13-no7 with CVC (IRR 0.574; 95% CI95% 0.413-0.797). The non-PCV13 strains that increased the most at the end of the period were 6C, 11A and 15A. The incidence of IPD due to PCV13 with RAS-Pen at > 59 years was decreasing and was associated with CVC. The incidence of cases due to non-PCV13 was increasing and was associated with community consumption of beta-lactam.

Invasive pneumococcal disease: association between serotype, clinical presentation and lethality.

To ascertain the factors linked to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by the different serotypes in the period 2007-2009, following the conjugate vaccine's inclusion in the childhood vaccination schedule, a total of 2013 IPD cases were reviewed. The mean annual incidence in this period was 10.74 cases per 100,000 inhabitans and the lethality was 8.8%. Overall serotype distribution displayed certain peculiarities, such as the high frequency of serotype 5. Serotype 3, male gender, sepsis and presence of risk factors were significantly associated with lethality. Vaccinated children under 5 years of age had a higher risk of disease due to serotype 19A. Serotype 8 was associated with the presence of underlying risk factors.
