Poolman J et al. - A possible alternative explanation may lie with the atypically abundant expression of capsular polysaccharide which could make serotype 3 strains less susceptible to anti-polysaccharide antibody defence mechanisms in the middle ear. The occurrence of acapsular forms during biofilm growth may also play a role. Clinical impact against otitis media, of vaccines containing pneumococcal serotype 3 components, remains unclear until further investigations have demonstrated the value.
