ABSTRACT
This nationwide, population-based, time-series analysis of invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) in Swiss children shows that vaccine-preventable IBIs were less affected by nonpharmaceutical interventions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic compared with invasive group A streptococcal infections. These findings emphasize the distinct epidemiological dynamics of bacterial pathogens in response to public health measures.
