SARS-CoV-2 and <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> colonization and disease: an observational study in adults.
This study highlights how non-pharmaceutical measures disrupt <i>S. pneumoniae</i> dynamics. Although pneumococcal colonization in SARS-CoV-2 patients appears to be infrequent, our data suggest an increase in disease severity. Then, vaccination programs and their monitoring remain critical in the prevention of respiratory infections.
