Haemophilus influenzae carriage and antibiotic resistance profile in Belgian infants over a three-year period (2016–2018)
BackgroundNon-typeable Haemophilus influenzae has become increasingly important as a causative agent of invasive diseases following vaccination against H. influenzae type b. The emergence of antibiotic resistance underscores the necessity to investigate typeable non-b carriage and non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) in children.MethodsNasopharyngeal swab samples were taken over a three-year period (2016–2018) from 336 children (6–30 months of age) attending daycare centers (DCCs) in Belgium, and from 218 children with acute otitis media (AOM).
