Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND. To prepare for national introduction of a pneumococcal vaccine of restricted valency, we studied the pattern of nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae and its transmission in Gambian villages over time. METHODS. We collected nasopharyngeal swab specimens every 2 weeks from 158 villagers in 19 households in 2 villages over 1 year. We studied the prevalence and duration of S. pneumoniae...
