New Adventures in NTHi: Pneumococcal vaccine impacts on the population genomics of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
New Adventures in NTHi: Pneumococcal vaccine impacts on the population genomics of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
Background: Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) are recognised to cause significant human disease. There is evidence that the epidemiology can be altered as a consequence of the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). Here, we examined the impact of PCV13 introduction in a UK paediatric population.
Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from children <5 years of age attending outpatient clinics at University Hospital Southampton Foundation NHS Trust during five consecutive winters, October - March, 2008/9 to 2012/13. The phylogeny of 275 NTHi isolates was examined using hierarchical Bayesian Analysis of Population Structure (hierBAPS). Lineage diversity, stability during PCV13 introduction and levels of recombination were also examined.
Results: NTHi were associated with carriage of vaccine serotype Streptococcus pneumoniae in the pre-PCV13 era (p < 0.05, OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.17-4.75). Following PCV13 introduction, significantly increased carriage of NTHi was observed in two of the three years examined (p < 0.05). Genomic analysis revealed a highly recombinogenic, diverse population (Simpsons MLST diversity, 1-D: 0.97 - 0.99) that could be characterised into eleven temporally stable lineages. Increased carriage was not linked to the expansion of a particular lineage. However a significant association of lineage 6 with S. pneumoniae in both pre- and post-PCV13 eras, OR of 14.75 (95% CI: 3.14-69.38) and 16.95 (95% CI: 0.93-309.96), was observed.
Conclusion: We have shown that the introduction of PCV13 increased NTHi carriage prevalence in a paediatric population, that the eleven lineages displayed remarkable temporal stability during this period, and there exists lineage specific S. pneumoniae associations.

Abstract
Background: Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) are recognised to cause significant human disease. There is evidence that the epidemiology can be altered as a consequence of the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). Here, we examined the impact of PCV13 introduction in a UK paediatric population.
Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from children <5 years of age attending outpatient clinics at University Hospital Southampton Foundation NHS Trust during five consecutive winters, October - March, 2008/9 to 2012/13. The phylogeny of 275 NTHi isolates was examined using hierarchical Bayesian Analysis of Population Structure (hierBAPS). Lineage diversity, stability during PCV13 introduction and levels of recombination were also examined.
Results: NTHi were associated with carriage of vaccine serotype Streptococcus pneumoniae in the pre-PCV13 era (p < 0.05, OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.17-4.75). Following PCV13 introduction, significantly increased carriage of NTHi was observed in two of the three years examined (p < 0.05). Genomic analysis revealed a highly recombinogenic, diverse population (Simpsons MLST diversity, 1-D: 0.97 - 0.99) that could be characterised into eleven temporally stable lineages. Increased carriage was not linked to the expansion of a particular lineage. However a significant association of lineage 6 with S. pneumoniae in both pre- and post-PCV13 eras, OR of 14.75 (95% CI: 3.14-69.38) and 16.95 (95% CI: 0.93-309.96), was observed.
Conclusion: We have shown that the introduction of PCV13 increased NTHi carriage prevalence in a paediatric population, that the eleven lineages displayed remarkable temporal stability during this period, and there exists lineage specific S. pneumoniae associations.
