Species composition of community–acquired pneumonia pathogens in children in assosiation with decreed pneumococcal conjugated vaccine immunisations

Abstract

Based on the results of selective molecular genetic studies, the species structure of the community-acquired pneumonia pathogens in children of Perm was studied in association with the decreed vaccination against pneumococcal infection in 2014–2019. It has been established that in recent years, against a background of an increase in the volume of decreed immunisations with the conjugated pneumococcal vaccine Prevenar 13, there is a decrease in the frequency of extraction in patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae and, on the contrary, an increase in the frequency of Mycoplasma pneumoniae extraction.
