Saliva as an alternative sample type for detection of pneumococcal carriage in young children

2023-06-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In children, the gold standard for the detection of pneumococcal carriage is conventional culture of a nasopharyngeal swab. Saliva, however, has a history as one of the most sensitive methods for surveillances on pneumococcal colonisation and has recently been shown to improve carriage detection in older age groups. Here, we compared the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal and saliva samples from PCV7-...
