Novel Type of Streptococcus pneumoniae Causing Multidrug-Resistant Acute Otitis Media in Children
After our recent discovery of a Streptococcus pneumoniae 19A “superbug” (Legacy strain) that is resistant to all Food and Drug Administration–approved antimicrobial drugs for treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) in children, other S. pneumoniae isolates

Optimal Serotype Compositions for Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccination under Serotype Replacement
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccination has proved highly effective in eliminating vaccine-type pneumococcal carriage and disease. However, the potential adverse effects of serotype replacement remain a major concern when implementing routine childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccination programmes.

Stratification of pneumococcal serotypes.
Serotypes are stratified into 5 categories, based on their inclusion in different PCV formulations (PCV7, PCV10 and PCV13) and their case-to-carrier ratios. The number (N) of isolates refers to the distribution of serotypes in children
