The pneumococcus, with over 100 known antigenically distinct serotypes and more than 900 classified lineages, presents challenges in understanding spread dynamics and the impact of human behavior, vaccines, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Mathematical models using genome sequences from South Africa aim to clarify uncertainties in pneumococcal migration, including geographic mobility rates and how fitness changes related to vaccine implementation and AMR influence its spread.
