Study population: The sample size is calculated to detect at baseline at least 100 nasopharyngeal swab specimens positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and possibly further 100 positive swabs at both 6 and 12 months after recruitment. A probability sample of at least 1,300 children will be recruited. Children will be selected using a randomization list of assisted children less than 5 years-old that will be computer generated for any of participant Family Pediatrician, based on the Lombardy Regional Health Databases and using the National Insurance Number.

- To estimate the nasopharyngeal carriage rate and longitudinal pattern of Streptococcus pneumoniae in healthy children aged less than 5 years living in the area of Milan, Italy;
- To describe the circulation of antimicrobial non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in healthy children aged less than5 years
Who cannot join
- To describe the nasopharyngeal carriage distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in healthy subjects less than 5 years old;

What does the primary outcome measure?
• circulation of antimicrobial non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in healthy children aged less than 5 years (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
