📋 Molecular Mechanism & Escapes
[Mechanism Overview] • S. pneumoniae possesses >100 distinct polysaccharide capsule serotypes. • PCV13 & PCV20 induce serotype replacement: unvaccine strains (e.g. 35B, 23B) expand into vacant nasopharyngeal niches. • Conserved protein targets (PspA, PcpA, PhtD) extend through the capsule matrix, allowing broadly neutralizing IgG deposition and C3b-mediated opsonophagocytosis across virtually all serotypes.
