Article Synopsis
- A cross-sectional study was conducted in Paraguay to investigate the oropharyngeal carriage of Neisseria species among individuals aged 3 to 21.
- A total of 2011 oropharyngeal swabs were collected, revealing a low prevalence of Neisseria meningitidis (2.1%), while other Neisseria species were found in 15.2% of participants.
- The study identified ten different clonal complexes of meningococcal strains, some associated with invasive disease, and is one of the few studies on this topic in the Southern Cone of Latin America.
