NP microbiota in Fiji
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines reduce nasopharyngeal colonisation of vaccine-type S. pneumoniae, but may have broader effects on the nasopharyngeal microbiota. However, data are limited, particularly in low and middle income countries such as Fiji. We examined the effect of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) on the nasopharyngeal microbiota of children in Fiji.
