Geographic distribution and clonal diversity of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 isolates.
Serotype 1 pneumococci are a major cause of serious disease and have been associated with outbreaks but are rarely carried. The high attack rate and lack of coverage of this serotype by the heptavalent conjugate vaccine prompted the characterization of a geographically diverse collection of 166 serotype 1 isolates from recent cases of invasive disease. The isolates were resolved by multilocus s...
متن کاملPrevalence and Clonal Distribution of pcpA, psrP and Pilus-1 among Pediatric Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of vaccine-preventable deaths globally. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution and clonal type variability of three potential vaccine antigens: Pneumococcal serine-rich repeat protein (PsrP), Pilus-1, and Pneumococcal choline binding protein A (PcpA) among pneumococcal isolates from children with invasive pneumococcal disease ...
متن کاملThe changing epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A clonal complexes.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia throughout the world and a major cause of serious invasive disease, especially in the very young and the elderly. The major virulence factor of S. pneumoniae is its polysaccharide capsule, which can be expressed as 91 different capsular serotypes [1, 2].Seven serotypes (those of high prevalence in children prior to 2000; serotype [sero]4,...
متن کاملSerotype Distribution and Antimicrobial Resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates Causing Invasive Diseases from Shenzhen Children’s Hospital
OBJECTIVE To provide guidance for clinical disease prevention and treatment, this study examined the epidemiology, antibiotic susceptibility, and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) associated with invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs) among children less than 14 years of age in Shenzhen, China. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the clinical strains were isolated from ch...
متن کاملSerotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from pediatric patients in Singapore.
One hundred eighty Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from children at a pediatric hospital in Singapore from 1997 to 1999 were serotyped and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns were determined. Sixty-three percent of the isolates were resistant to penicillin. Significantly large numbers of the strains investigated were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (87.8%), tetracyc...
