Abstract excerpt
This study was performed to better understand the genetic diversity and evolutionary relatedness of pneumococcal serotypes 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) was performed for 160 serogroup 6 isolates from clinical specimens collected from children between 1991 and 2010. We identified 38 sequence types (STs) comprising five clonal complexes with 12 singletons. Although most STs were confined...
