Prevalence and molecular characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6C causing invasive disease in Gipuzkoa, northern Spain, 1990-2009

The recently discovered pneumococcus serotype 6C was responsible for ten of the 1,530 invasive isolates studied between 1990 and 2009. These ten isolates belonged to seven sequence types (STs) and were isolated only from adult patients: six with bacteremia, three with meningitis, and one with perito...

More Information
Summary:The recently discovered pneumococcus serotype 6C was responsible for ten of the 1,530 invasive isolates studied between 1990 and 2009. These ten isolates belonged to seven sequence types (STs) and were isolated only from adult patients: six with bacteremia, three with meningitis, and one with peritonitis. All isolates but one were fully penicillin-susceptible.
