Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal serotypes 6A and 6B are members of Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 and are among the most prevalent serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD). These serotypes are associated with unique clonal lineages, with some exhibiting antibiotic resistance and high virulence properties. OBJECTIVE: To explore the global spread of serotypes 6A and 6B clones, detailing their...
