Competing Interests
The authors have the following conflicts: Dr. Gubbay has received research grants from GlaxoSmithKline Inc. and Hoffman-La Roche Ltd to study antiviral resistance in influenza, and from Pfizer Inc. to conduct microbiological surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, these activities are not relevant to this study. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
