Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major concern worldwide. However, it is unclear whether resistance is associated with only a few highly prevalent clones or numerous and diverse clones. We monitored 349 healthy children and obtained nasopharyngeal cultures at five time points coinciding with health check-ups (4, 7, 10, 18 and 36 months) between 2008 and 2012. A total of 497 S. pneumoniae...
