(Public Library of Science, 2020-02)
Background: The objective of this study is to describe incidence and shifts of serotype and clonal distribution of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in four different age groups (<5 years, 5–17 ...
Validation of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid diagnosis of invasive pneumococcal disease
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-24)
Current molecular PCR-based techniques used for detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae, the causative pathogen of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), are accurate but have a run time of several hours. We ...
Impact of the 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine on the direct costs of invasive pneumococcal disease requiring hospital admission in children aged < 5 years: a prospective study
(MDPI, 2020)
