GENOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION OF LINEAGE AND LOCUS SPECIFIC VARIATION ASSOCIATED WITH PNEUMOCOCCAL CARRIAGE DURATION

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

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, but variability in its duration is currently only understood at the serotype level.Here we developed a model to calculate the duration Play Gyms of carriage episodes fr
