Overweg K, Bogaert D, Sluijter M, de Groot R, Hermans P
Microb Drug Resist . 2002 Feb; 7(4):323-34. PMID: 11822772
Recently, a nation-wide molecular epidemiologic survey of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae has been performed in the Netherlands. In the current study, we analyzed the genes pbp1a, pbp2b, and pbp2x from these...

Bogaert D, Engelen M, Elzenaar K, Peerbooms P, Coutinho R, de Groot R, et al.
J Clin Microbiol . 2001 Aug; 39(9):3316-20. PMID: 11526169
In 1999, Engelen and coworkers investigated colonization in Amsterdam among 259 children attending 16 day-care centers (DCCs) and among 276 children who did not attend day-care centers (NDCCs). A 1.6-...
