Nasopharyngeal carriage, serotype, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genotype of pneumococci in young healthy children attending daycare centres in Klang Valley, Malaysia
The predominance of nonvaccine serotypes, particularly 15C and 23A, alongside antibiotic resistance, indicates a potential epidemiological shift in the post-PCV era. These results emphasise the need for continuous surveillance to monitor serotype dynamics and antimicrobial resistance pattern in the community.
