Abstract Background Peru implemented restrictive social distancing policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies have examined patterns of nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage and related antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs), particularly in community-based settings with intense policies. Methods Nasopharyngeal swabs were systematically obtained weekly from children adults enrolled two household-based prospective pre-pandemic (2019-2020) pandemic (2020-2021) cohorts Lima, Peru. Selected...
Abstract Background We assessed the prevalence and incidence of SARS‐CoV‐2 infections in a prospective study households Lima, Peru. Methods Households with child, young adult 18–50 years, an age >50 years peri‐urban Lima were followed twice‐a‐week household visits during 2‐month period. Nasal swabs saliva specimens collected twice weekly, nasopharyngeal weekly from each participant, regardless symptoms. Laboratory‐confirmed infection was defined by two RT‐PCR tests any within week. Blood...
Background: Few studies have prospectively evaluated SARS-CoV-2 infections in households. We assessed the prevalence and incidence of a prospective study households Lima, Peru.Methods: conducted cohort peri-urban district Peru. Households with at least child, young adult (age 18 to 50 years) an older age >50 years, were followed twice-a-week household visits during two-month period for health surveillance. Nasal swabs saliva specimens collected twice weekly, nasopharyngeal weekly from each...
Abstract Background Antibiotic resistant infections commonly occur in healthcare settings, but the prevalence of antibiotic genes (ARGs) healthy individuals community is unknown. We provide an initial assessment nasopharyngeal carriage ARGs conferring resistance to macrolides and/or lincosamides, including erm, mph, ABC-F, and lnu genes. Methods Nasopharyngeal swabs were systematically obtained at enrollment weekly thereafter from children adults enrolled a household-based prospective cohort...
