Stephen Bentley, Paul Turner and colleagues report whole-genome sequencing of 3,085 pneumococci collected from a densely sampled pneumococcal carriage cohort in a Thai refugee camp over a 3-year period. They provide a high-resolution analysis of natural pneumococcal evolution and bacterial recombination, identifying lineage-specific variation in recombination.
