Changes in Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 19A Invasive Infections in Children from 1993 to 2011

Abstract: h Among 594 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) isolates collected from 1993 to 2011, we identified 85 sequence types by multilocus sequence typing. CC320 was associated with multidrug resistance and reduced susceptibility to penicillin and ceftriaxone and still predominated among declining serotype 19A IPD isolates following PCV13 introduction.

“…These results are in agreement with those published in the USA from the late PCV7 period and the early PCV13 [5,7, 3335] but, as data of molecular epidemiology after PCV13 introduction in Europe is scarce, we could not compare the occurrence of this phenomenon in other countries. Moreover, a reduction of isolates belonging to ST320 19A has also been detected in a pediatric population from the USA [35] after the PCV13 introduction, even though this reduction was lower than that observed for the susceptible clones.…”

“…The initial increase in the prevalence of serotype 19A in the years following the introduction of PCV7 through 2005 was secondary to the clonal expansion of ST199, an ST previously associated with serotype 19A (32). In the period from 2006 to 2010, a clonal shift occurred toward MDR CC320, which became the major CC among serotype 19A isolates in the late 2000s and contributed to the dramatic expansion of serotype 19A among children (17,19). Even though serotype 35B has become one of the most common serotypes causing disease in pediatric patients, the number of cases has not yet reached the magnitude of serotype 19A in the late 2000s.…”

“…Horizontal genetic exchange plays a critical role in the evolution of S. pneumoniae and provides an extraordinary ability to evade environmental stressors like vaccines (14)(15)(16). Sequence type (ST) analysis of pneumococcal isolates in the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) era suggested that expansion of preexisting STs, the appearance of new STs, and capsular switching are some of the evolutionary pneumococcal responses observed in previous emergent serotypes (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Capsular switching occurs when a strain of S. pneumoniae takes the capsular type of another strain by the transfer of the capsular locus (cps) genes (22).…”

“…The prevalence of serotype 19A increased in the United States during the post-PCV7 era (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) (4,5,15,16), but recent investigations have reported that this serotype has decreased since the introduction of PCV13 (6,17) or possibly prior to its introduction (18). Although serotype 19A has become less prevalent, studies indicated that the nonsusceptibility rates for 19A have increased even further (7,18), likely due to antimicrobial pressure and consequent expansion of multidrug-resistant (MDR) populations within 19A isolates (i.e., clonal complex 320) (18). PCV7 successfully decreased the prevalence of targeted serotypes and also decreased the nonsusceptibility rates of these serotypes (19).…”
