Evaluation of the impact of HIV-1 infection and density of common nasopharyngeal bacterial colonizers in South African children immunized with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Background: Due to limitations in standard culture methods, the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization on nasopharyngeal bacterial carriage density is unclear, including among HIV-infected children.
