Objective: () nasopharyngeal carriage has significantly decreased after the generalization of pneumococcal vaccination worldwide. This study sought to investigate changes in carriage rates, serotype distribution and penicillin non-susceptibility following the generalization of 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Marrakesh, Morocco, between 2017 and 2018, among healthy children attending vaccination centers.
Background And Objectives: is one of the most frequent pathogens leading to a variety of clinical manifestations. The effects of carriage on acute otitis media (AOM) are poorly studied. The study aimed to assess the serotype's distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in children with AOM after the implementation of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in Morocco.
