High-density Bacterial Nasal Carriage in Children Is Transient and Associated With Respiratory Viral Infections-Implications for Transmission Dynamics
Thors V, Christensen H, Morales-Aza B, Oliver E, Sikora P, Vipond I, et al.
Pediatr Infect Dis J . 2019 Apr; 38(5):533-538. PMID: 30985547
Background: This longitudinal study describes the associations between respiratory viral infections, rhinitis and the prevalence and density of the common nasopharyngeal bacterial colonizers, Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp), Moraxella catarrhalis (Mc), Haemophilus...

Density Distribution of Pharyngeal Carriage of Meningococcus in Healthy Young Adults: New Approaches to Studying the Epidemiology of Colonization and Vaccine Indirect Effects
Finn A, Morales-Aza B, Sikora P, Giles J, Lethem R, Marlais M, et al.
Pediatr Infect Dis J . 2016 May; 35(10):1080-5. PMID: 27228196
Background: Improved understanding of Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) carriage biology and better methods for detection and quantification would facilitate studies of potential impact of new vaccines on colonization and transmission in...

The Effects of Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine on Nasopharyngeal Bacteria in Healthy 2 to 4 Year Olds. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Thors V, Christensen H, Morales-Aza B, Vipond I, Muir P, Finn A
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2016 Jan; 193(12):1401-9. PMID: 26742001
Rationale: Viral infections of the upper respiratory tract may influence the commensal nasopharyngeal bacteria. Changes in the bacterial niche could affect transmission dynamics. Attenuated vaccine viruses can be used to...

Population density profiles of nasopharyngeal carriage of 5 bacterial species in pre-school children measured using quantitative PCR offer potential insights into the dynamics of transmission
Thors V, Morales-Aza B, Pidwill G, Vipond I, Muir P, Finn A
Hum Vaccin Immunother . 2015 Sep; 12(2):375-82. PMID: 26367344
Bacterial vaccines can reduce carriage rates. Colonization is usually a binary endpoint. Real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) can quantify bacterial DNA in mucosal samples over a wide range. Using culture...
