Genome-wide identification of lineage and locus specific variation associated with pneumococcal carriage duration

2017-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of invasive disease in infants, especially in low-income settings. Asymptomatic carriage in the nasopharynx is a prerequisite for disease, and the duration of carriage is an important consideration in modelling transmission dynamics and vaccine response. Existing studies of carriage duration variability are based at the serotype level only, and do not probe variation wit...
