Sentinel surveillance in bacterial pneumonia in children under 5 years old in a fourth-level pediatric hospital in Colombia 2016-2022
The serotypes included in the conjugate vaccines for pneumococcus and <i>H. influenzae</i> b decreased significantly, and serotype turnover was observed. Among the <i>S. pneumoniae</i> cases, Spn19A, Spn3, and Spn6C were the most frequent serotypes and associated with multiresistance. The SSBP allows us to determine the clinical behavior of the disease and to detect the serotypes emergence.
