Despite progress in treatment and prevention, Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the adult

population, especially in individuals aged 65 years or more and for risk groups. It causes mucosal infections of respiratory tract or invasive

pneumococcal infections including also meningitis. In the Czech Republic, the number of invasive pneumococcal diseases in children

decreased due to vaccination, in adults this trend has not yet been observed. For adults there are 2 vaccines registered including 23valent

polysaccharide vaccine and 13valent conjugate vaccine. An extension of adult vaccination is desirable due to the severity of the disease

and increasing resistance to antibiotics.
