Colonization with 19F and other pneumococcal conjugate vaccine serotypes in children in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The primary goal of this study was to determine the vaccine-type (VT) serotype prevalence of nasopharyngeal (NP) pneumococcal colonization of children residing in the St. Louis, MO, USA metropolitan area following introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in 2010. It concluded that children in St. Louis exhibit a higher prevalence of VT serotypes among pneumococcal carriage isolates than has been reported in other areas in the US.

Childhood pneumococcal disease in Africa - a systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility.
This study provided updated estimates of the incidence, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Streptococcus pneumoniae causing disease in Africa. It concluded that, although the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in young children in Africa is substantial, currently available conjugate vaccines are estimated to cover the majority of invasive disease-causing pneumococcal serotypes.
