Abstract

This research program aims to develop an in-depth understanding of various streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) infections that could be serious and even life threatening. Antibiotic resistance and how COVID-19 and influenza could make people vulnerable to SP infections will be two key areas explored. This research is expected to feed directly in to practice and policy relating to pneumococcal disease surveillance and optimizing prevention using vaccinations during COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
