From ecological reservoir to disease: the nasopharynx, day-care centres and drug-resistant clones of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>

1 Dec 2002

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of epidemiological and microbiological studies point to the multiple and critical roles of the nasopharynx of children-particularly those of pre-school age and attending day-care centres (DCCs)-in the emergence and spread of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRP). A systematic yearly surveillance of the nasopharyngeal flora of children attending DCCs has been carried out in Lisbon since 1996....
