    Methods: Active surveillance for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in hospitalised adults was performed from December 2010 to 2013. Detection of pneumococcal CAP (CAP
    Results: NP swab results were compared against CAP cases where all pneumococcal tests were performed (n=434), or where at least one test was performed (n=1616). CAP
    Conclusions: While further optimisation may be needed to increase the sensitivity of PCR-based detection, its high specificity suggests there is a value for pneumococcal surveillance. With many laboratories archiving specimens for influenza virus surveillance, this specimen type could provide a non-culture-based method for pneumococcal surveillance.

    Abstract In the context of age- and risk-based pneumococcal vaccine recommendations in Canada, this study presents updated data from active surveillance of pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (pCAP) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in hospitalized adults from 2010 to 2017. S. pneumoniae was detected using culture (blood and sputum), and urine antigen detection (UAD). Serotyping was performed with Quellung, PCR, or using the PCV13- and PPV23 (non-PCV13)-specific UADs. Laboratory results, demographic, and outcome data were categorized by age (16–49, 50–64, and 65 +) and by disease [non-bacteremic pCAP, bacteremic pCAP, and IPD(non-CAP)]. 11,129 CAP cases and 216 cases of IPD (non-CAP) were identified. Laboratory testing for S. pneumoniae was performed in 8912 CAP cases, identifying 1264 (14.2%) as pCAP. Of pCAP cases, 811 (64.1%) were non-bacteremic and 455 (35.9%) were bacteremic. Adults 65 + years represented 54.5% of non-bacteremic pCAP, 41.4% of bacteremic pCAP, and 48.6% of IPD cases. Adults 50–64 years contributed 30.3%, 33.1%, and 29.9%, respectively. In pCAP, PCV13 serotypes declined between 2010 and 2014 due to declines in serotypes 7F and 19A, then plateaued from 2015 to 2017 with persistence of serotype 3. In later study years, non-bacteremic pCAP was predominant, and PPV23 (non-PCV13) serotypes increased from 2015 to 2017, with serotypes 22F, 11A, and 9 N being most frequently identified. Compared to non-pCAP, pCAP cases were more likely to be admitted to intensive care units and require mechanical ventilation. These outcomes and mortality were more common in bacteremic pCAP and IPD, versus non-bacteremic pCAP. Along with IPD, pCAP surveillance (bacteremic and non-bacteremic) is important as their trends may differ over time. With insufficient herd protection from PCV13 childhood immunization, or use of PPV23 in adults, this study supports direct adult immunization with PCV13 or higher valency conjugate vaccines to reduce the residual burden of pCAP and IPD.

    Abstract Background: Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae is an integral part of disease surveillance, with over 92 serotypes characterized to date using traditional serotyping. To identify the most predominant disease causing serotypes, molecular serotyping methods are now increasingly being used, like conventional and real-time multiplex PCR (cmPCR and rmPCR, respectively). Given that cmPCR consists of eight reactions spanning 41 targets, and rmPCR consists of seven triplex reactions, standardizing positive controls for these assays is challenging. As such, a 43-target plasmid for cmPCR (pSpn-CM1) and a 23 target plasmid for rmPCR (pSpn-RM1) were designed and validated.
    Methods: Plasmid pSpn-RM1 was designed and synthesized as chimeric DNA sequences to include all PCR target primer binding sites sequences for cmPCR. Plasmid pSpn-RM1 consisted of all primer and probe sequences required for rmPCR. Additional targets (lytA and cpsA) were included in both plasmids for quantification, following their propagation and purification from Escherichia coli.
    Results: When tested using the cmPCR reactions, all targets could be reproducibly be detected using pSpn-CM1 as template, with good amplicon visibility at a concentration of 1.4 (± 0.3) × 10
    Conclusions: These quantifiable multi-target plasmids simplify the preparation of controls for PCR-based serotyping of S. pneumoniae, and methods herein could be extended to other highly multiplexed PCR assays.

    Abstract Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae is important to monitor disease epidemiology and assess the impact of pneumococcal vaccines. Traditionally, the Quellung reaction used serotype-specific antibodies to classify S. pneumoniae based on differences in capsular antigens. More recently, PCR-based serotype deduction relying on serotype-specific capsule biosynthesis genes has been broadly applied for pneumococcal surveillance. However, PCR-based serotyping lacks discrimination for certain S. pneumoniae serotypes, including the differentiation of serotype 22F from 22A, and serotype 33F from 33A and 37. Serotypes 22F and 33F are emerging serotypes that are absent in the currently licensed 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, but present in the new candidate 15-valent formulation. This study validated novel PCR reactions to detect and discriminate S. pneumoniae serotypes 22F and 33F. In order to differentiate S. pneumoniae serotypes 22F or 33F from genetically similar serotypes, two novel PCR reactions were designed and validated. The specificity of all PCR targets was evaluated using all 92 different S. pneumoniae serotypes, as well as 32 other streptococci. Reproducibility was evaluated using geographically and genetically diverse strains of S. pneumoniae serotypes 22F and 22A, or serotypes 33F, 33A, and 37 that were previously characterized by reputable reference laboratories. Overall, S. pneumoniae serotypes 22F and 33F could be accurately and reproducibly be detected and discriminated using PCR alone. Such a molecular serotyping approach provides a valuable diagnostic tool that is feasible in any molecular laboratory, to enable pneumococcal serotype surveillance and subsequent assessment of the impact of the new 15-valent candidate pneumococcal vaccine.

    Abstract The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was recently shown to be effective against PCV13-type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (CAPSpn) in healthy adults aged ≥65 years, prompting many countries to re-assess adult immunization. In Canada, the potential benefits of adult PCV13 immunization were unclear given anticipated herd immunity from PCV13 childhood immunization introduced since 2010. This study describes the serotype distribution and clinical outcomes of Canadian adults aged ≥16 years, who were hospitalized with CAPSpn and IPD from 2010 to 2015.Active surveillance for CAP and IPD was performed in adult hospitals across five Canadian provinces. IPD was identified when Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from sterile sites. Bacteremic and non-bacteremic CAPSpn were identified using blood culture, and sputum culture or PCV13-specific urine antigen detection (UADPCV13), respectively. Serotype was assigned using Quellung reaction, PCR, or UADPCV13.Of 6687 CAP cases where a test was performed, S. pneumoniae positivity decreased from 15.9% in 2011 to 8.8% in 2014, but increased to 12.9% in 2015. CAPSpn attributed to PCV13 serotypes followed a similar trend, dropping from 8.3% in 2010 to 4.6% in 2014, but increasing to 6.3% in 2015. The decline was primarily attributed to serotypes 7F and 19A, and the proportional increase to serotype 3. Similar trends were noted for bacteremic and non-bacteremic CAPSpn. Serious outcomes such as 30-day mortality, intensive care unit admission, and requirement for mechanical ventilation were prominent in CAPSpn and IPD cases, but remained unchanged over the study years.Herd immunity afforded primarily by serotypes 7F and 19A appears to be partly masked by a concomitant proportional increase of serotype 3. Despite evidence of herd immunity, these PCV13 serotypes remain persistent in Canadian adults hospitalized with CAPSpn, and represent between 5 and 10% of all CAP in this patient population.

    Abstract Background: In Canada, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is recommended in childhood, in individuals at high risk of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and in healthy adults aged ≥65 years for protection against vaccine-type IPD and pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (pCAP). Since vaccine recommendations in Canada include both age-based and risk-based guidance, this study aimed to describe the burden of vaccine-preventable pCAP in hospitalised adults by age.
    Methods: Surveillance for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in hospitalised adults was performed prospectively from 2010 to 2015. CAP was radiologically confirmed, and pCAP was identified using blood and sputum culture and urine antigen testing. Patient demographics and outcomes were stratified by age (16-49, 50-64, ≥65 and ≥50 years).
    Results: Of 6666/8802 CAP cases tested, 830 (12.5%) had pCAP, and 418 (6.3%) were attributed to a PCV13 serotype. Of PCV13 pCAP, 41% and 74% were in adults aged ≥65 and ≥50 years, respectively. Compared with non-pCAP controls, pCAP cases aged ≥50 years were more likely to be admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) and to require mechanical ventilation. Older adults with pCAP were less likely to be admitted to ICU or required mechanical ventilation, given their higher mortality and goals of care. Of pCAP deaths, 67% and 90% were in the ≥65 and ≥50 age cohorts, respectively.
    Conclusions: Adults hospitalised with pCAP in the age cohort of 50-64 years contribute significantly to the burden of illness, suggesting that an age-based recommendation for adults aged ≥50 years should be considered in order to optimise the impact of pneumococcal vaccination programmes in Canada.

    Results: Of 6687 CAP cases where a test was performed, S. pneumoniae positivity decreased from 15.9% in 2011 to 8.8% in 2014, but increased to 12.9% in 2015. CAP
    Conclusion: Herd immunity afforded primarily by serotypes 7F and 19A appears to be partly masked by a concomitant proportional increase of serotype 3. Despite evidence of herd immunity, these PCV13 serotypes remain persistent in Canadian adults hospitalized with CAP
