Epidemiology of S. pneumoniae serotypes in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The prevalence of the common serotypes of S. pneumoniae in the Russian Federation was estimated in healthy carriers as well as children and adult patients with invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal infections based on the epidemiological microbiological studies. The majority of circulating serotypes of S. pneumoniae were found to be covered by 10-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines and 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine.
