Susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection among children and adults: a seroprevalence study of family households in the Barcelona metropolitan region, Spain
(Oxford University Press, 2021-06)
Background: Susceptibility of children and adults to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and persistence of antibody response to the virus after infection resolution ...
Nasopharyngeal microbiota in children with invasive pneumococcal disease: identification of bacteria with potential disease-promoting and protective effects
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Background and Aims: The risk of suffering from some infectious diseases can be related to specific microbiota profiles. Specifically, the nasopharyngeal microbiota could play a role as a risk or ...
Rapid increase of oral bacteria in nasopharyngeal microbiota after antibiotic treatment in children with invasive pneumococcal disease
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Introduction: Antibiotics are commonly prescribed to young children for treating bacterial infections such as invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Despite the obvious ...
Caracterización del microbioma nasofaríngeo en pacientes con enfermedad de Kawasaki
(Elsevier, 2022)
Introducción: La etiología de la enfermedad de Kawasaki (EK) sigue siendo desconocida. Varios estudios han relacionado el microbioma humano con algunas enfermedades. Sin embargo, los estudios sobre el ...
Differential nasopharyngeal microbiota composition in children according to respiratory health status
(Microbiology Society, 2021)
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) constitute one of the leading causes of antibiotic administration, hospitalization and death among children <5 years old. The upper respiratory tract microbiota has ...
Related factors to streptococcus pneumoniae invasive infection and clinical manifestations: the potential role of nasopharyngeal microbiome
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04)
Infections of the lower respiratory tract, such as pneumonia, are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Streptococcus pneumoniae might colonize the upper respiratory tract and is the main ...
Rapid identification, capsular typing and molecular characterization of streptococcus pneumoniae by using whole genome nanopore sequencing
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Background: Whole genome sequencing has emerged as a useful tool for identification and molecular characterization of pathogens. MinION (Oxford Nanopore) is a real-time third generation sequencer whose ...
The positive rhinovirus/enterovirus detection and SARS-CoV-2 persistence beyond the acute infection phase: an intra-household surveillance study
(MDPI, 2021)
We aimed to assess the duration of nasopharyngeal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA persistence in adults self-confined at home after acute infection; and to identify the ...
Pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriageamong Bhutanese children hospitalizedwith clinical pneumonia: serotypes andviral co-infection
(Springer Nature, 2020-12)
Background: Pneumococcal nasopharyngeal colonization (PNC) generally precedes pneumococcal disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of PNC and to identify the pneumococcal ...
