Background: In Vietnam, Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of disease, including meningitis.

Appropriate treatment and antibiotic stewardship need to be informed by surveillance data. Objectives: To report community-based pneumococcal antibiotic susceptibility testing data from children enrolled in a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine trial in Ho Chi Minh City [the Vietnam Pneumococcal Project (ViPP)] and compare these with published hospital-based data from the nationwide Survey of Antibiotic Resistance (SOAR) to determine whether hospital surveillance da..
