colonization

bacteria

Streptococcus pneumoniae

Moraxella catarrhalis

Haemophilus influenzae

Limited information exists for when potentially pathogenic bacteria first colonize the airways. Weekly nasal swabs from an Australian birth cohort (N = 158) revealed the median (interquartile range) ages when Streptococcus pneumoniae , Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus influenza e were first detected as 3.0 (0.8-7.1), 5.5 (2.8-8.7) and 11.2 (6.4-18.0) months, respectively. RNA viruses were associated with first H. influenzae detections. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01304914.
