We prospectively assessed longitudinal pneumococcal colonization in 22 pediatric HCT recipients from conditioning therapy to 100 days post-HCT. A higher likelihood of pneumococcal colonization was observed in the late post-HCT period (weeks 9\u201314) compared with the early post-HCT period (weeks 1\u20138), with odds increasing with each additional week after conditioning.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>This is the first study to longitudinally evaluate pneumococcal colonization in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients from the onset of conditioning therapy to 100 days post-HCT. We found a higher likelihood of pneumococcal colonization in the late post-HCT period (weeks 9\u201314) compared with the early post-HCT period (weeks 1\u20138), with odds increasing with each additional week after conditioning. Despite study limitations, these findings provide foundational insight into early post-HCT colonization dynamics and highlight the need for larger studies to better understand the roles of antibiotic exposure and pre-HCT vaccination in reducing pneumococcal colonization.<\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,1]],"date-time":"2026-06-01T13:00:25Z","timestamp":1780318825000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pneumococcal colonization in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2370-2043","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Liset","family":"Olarte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02pttbw34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine","place":["Houston, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer E.","family":"Schuster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Mercy-Kansas City","place":["Kansas City, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hematology\/Oncology\/Bone Marrow Transplant, Department of Pediatrics, Children\u2019s Mercy-Kansas City","place":["Kansas City, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina G.","family":"Hulten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02pttbw34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine","place":["Houston, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bmt.1705964"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tmaid.2018.05.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tid.12630"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/bmt.2009.254"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciz1082"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/petr.13732"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.02498-06"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/21645515.2015.1090071"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-019-4321-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2022.11.005"}],"container-title":["Microbiology Spectrum"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T01:01:00Z","timestamp":1788224460000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.asm.org\/doi\/10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Andrea M.","family":"Prinzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/spectrum.04006-25","relation":{},"ISSN":["2165-0497"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2165-0497","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-12-22","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-05-08","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-06-01","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e04006-25"}}
