BACKGROUND: A three year pneumococcal carriage study was set up in Belgium when the vaccination programme switched from a 13-valent (PCV13) to a 10-valent (PCV10) vaccine. We compared the first follow-up period (October 2016 - June 2017, year 2, Y2) for nasopharyngeal carriage, serotype distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. pneumoniae with the baseline (January-July 2016, year 1, Y1). MATERIALS/METHODS: A single nasopharyngeal swab was taken in children (6-30 months), either attending one of the 112 day-care centres (DCCs), or visiting one of the 21 physicians for an acute otitis media (AOM). S. pneumoniae were cultured, screened for antimicrobial susceptibility, and serotyped. RESULTS: In Y2, 1218 samples were collected. The majority of the Y2-children (>85%) was vaccinated appropriately for their age. Children in Y2 received either PCV13 only (DCC: 23.5%; AOM: 24.6%), PCV10 only (DCC: 29.8%; AOM: 37.7%), or a mix of both vaccines (DCC: 31.9%; AOM: 25.4%). Pneumococcal carriage rates were high (Y2, DCC: 68.2%; AOM: 64.8%). Among carriers, prevalence of PCV13 serotypes was low (Y2 vs Y1, DCC: 3.5% vs 5.4%; AOM: 7.6% vs 7.7%). Although prevalence of PCV13-non-PCV10 serotypes did not increase significantly compared to Y1 (Y2 vs Y1, DCC: 1.6% vs 0.9%; Y2 vs Y1, AOM: 5.1% vs 0.0%), the proportion of serotypes 3, 6A, 19A among PCV13 serotype carriers in DCC was significantly higher in Y2 (46.2% vs Y1: 16.0%, p-value = 0.034). Serotypes 23B and 15B were the predominant non-vaccine serotypes (Y2). Among detected strains, non-susceptibility to at least one of five antibiotics tested (penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, levofloxacin, cotrimoxazole) was comparable to Y1 (Y2 vs Y1, DCC: 41.3% vs 42.4%; AOM: 49.4% vs 48.1%). CONCLUSION: After completion of the PCV13-to-PCV10 vaccine switch in Belgium, the proportion of PCV13-non-PCV10 serotypes (mainly 19A) significantly increased among PCV13 serotype carriers in DCC, stressing the need for strengthened surveillance as the PCV10-vaccinated population grows.
