William J. Barson studies pneumococcal disease (infections caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae) in children, including pneumonia, invasive infections, and ear infections (otitis media), often tracking how these conditions have changed after introduction of pneumococcal vaccines. Much of this work draws on multi-site surveillance data from US children's hospitals to monitor disease trends, vaccine effectiveness, and antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains over time.
Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the past decade, with a peak in 2017, a decline in the following years, and a recent uptick in 2025-2026.
