  Purpose

Recent nation-wide resistance prevalence rates originate from a nation-wide surveillance study coordinated by the 4th Dept of Internal Medicine, Athens University General Hospital ATTIKON. Penicillin resistance rates from this study differ if the new IDSA breakpoints for non-meningeal strains are applied, lowering nonsusceptibility rates to penicillin from 34,7% and 48,3% to 3,9% and 8% for colonising and resistant strains respectively. Serotypes 19F, 14, 9V, 23F and 6B formed 70.6% of the total number of resistant strains serotyped. There is an unmet scientific need to find the serotype distribution in Greece in adults.

Further study details as provided by Pfizer:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The frequency of serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, 19A in the samples collected from chest-X-ray confirmed pneumococcal pneumonia (CAP) adult patients [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Susceptibility, resistance or partial resistance Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolates obtained from study adult CAP patients. [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The frequency of the 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, 19A serotypes (based on Luminex assay) of study patients immunized and not immunized with PPV. [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
