Evaluating methods for identifying and quantifying Streptococcus pneumoniae co-colonization using next-generation sequencing data

ABSTRACT Detection of multiple pneumococcal serotype carriage can enhance monitoring of pneumococcal vaccine impact, particularly among high-burden childhood populations. We assessed methods for identifying co-carriage of pneumococcal serotypes from whole-genome sequences. Twenty-four nasopharyngeal...
