Abstract excerpt
Few studies have examined the genetic relatedness within and between serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Penicillin-susceptible S. pneumoniae (PSSP) isolates (n=170) and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (PRSP) isolates (n=48) belonging to 13 different serotypes from across Canada were studied to further understand the molecular epidemiology of S. pneumoniae. PRSP of serotypes 6B, 14, and 19F appeared to be...
