摘要：

Nasopharyngeal transmission of Streptococcus pneumoniae was evaluated among 23 siblings with acute otitis media (AOM). Restriction fragment length polymorphism revealed that the nasopharyngeal strains were identical between siblings in 12 of 13 clusters of AOM experienced in I I families. This study demonstrated person-to-person transmission of S. pneumoniae, especially drug-resistant strains, among siblings with AOM.
