Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Dramatic reductions in IPD after PCV7 introduction in the United States remain evident 7 years later, and IPD rates caused by serotype 19A and other non-PCV7 types have increased but remain low relative to decreases in PCV 7-type IPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the United States in 2010-2011, there was an estimated annual antibiotic prescription rate per 1000 population of 506, but only an estimated 353 antibiotic prescriptions were likely appropriate, supporting the need for establishing a goal for outpatient antibiotic stewardship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Introduction of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Drug-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
Moe H. Kyaw,Ruth Lynfield,William Schaffner,Allen S. Craig,James L. Hadler,Arthur Reingold,Ann Thomas,Lee H. Harrison,Nancy M. Bennett,Monica M. Farley,Monica M. Farley,Richard R. Facklam,James H. Jorgensen,John M. Besser,Elizabeth R. Zell,Anne Schuchat,Cynthia G. Whitney +16 more
TL;DR: The rate of antibiotic-resistant invasive pneumococcal infections decreased in young children and older persons after the introduction of the conjugate vaccine, and there was an increase in infections caused by serotypes not included in the vaccine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Meningitis in the United States, 1998-2007
Michael C. Thigpen,Cynthia G. Whitney,Nancy E. Messonnier,Elizabeth R. Zell,Ruth Lynfield,James L. Hadler,Lee H. Harrison,Monica M. Farley,Arthur Reingold,Nancy M. Bennett,Allen S. Craig,William Schaffner,Ann Thomas,Melissa Lewis,Elaine Scallan,Anne Schuchat +15 more
TL;DR: The rates of bacterial meningitis have decreased since 1998, but the disease still often results in death, and the burden of bacterialMeningitis is now borne more by older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of Pneumococcal Disease Due to Non-Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV7) Serotypes in the United States during the Era of Widespread PCV7 Vaccination, 1998–2004
Lauri A. Hicks,Lee H. Harrison,Brendan Flannery,James L. Hadler,William Schaffner,Allen S. Craig,Delois Jackson,Ann Thomas,Bernard Beall,Ruth Lynfield,Arthur Reingold,Monica M. Farley,Cynthia G. Whitney +12 more
TL;DR: The incidence of pneumococcal disease caused by nonvaccine serotypes is increasing and Ongoing surveillance is needed to monitor the magnitude of disease cause by non vaccines, to ensure that future vaccines target the appropriate serotypes.
