The Challenges of Using Oropharyngeal Samples To Measure Pneumococcal Carriage in Adults

28 Jul 2020

Abstract excerpt

(the pneumococcus) is a significant global pathogen. Accurate identification and serotyping are vital. In contrast with World Health Organization recommendations based on culture methods, we demonstrate that pneumococcal identification and serotyping with molecular methods are affected by sample type. Results from oropharyngeal samples from adults were often inaccurate. This is particularly important for...
