Genetic analyses of penicillin binding protein determinants in multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 19 CC320/271 clone with high-level resistance to third-generation cephalosporins.

Abstract excerpt

We describe the dissemination of a multidrug-resistant (MDR) serogroup 19 pneumococcal clone of representative multilocus sequence type 271 (ST271) with high-level resistance to cefotaxime in Hong Kong and penicillin binding protein (pbp) genes and its relationships to Taiwan(19F)-14 and the prev...
