Streptococcus pneumoniae as cause of infection in infants less than 60 days of age: serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility

Highlights • Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A is a frequent pathogen in infants aged ≤60 days. • Serotypes 3, 6A, 10A, 12F, and 15A/B increased after the introduction of heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in infants aged ≤60 days. • Theoretical serotype coverage among children ag...

Summary:Highlights • Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A is a frequent pathogen in infants aged ≤60 days. • Serotypes 3, 6A, 10A, 12F, and 15A/B increased after the introduction of heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in infants aged ≤60 days. • Theoretical serotype coverage among children aged ≤60 days during the period 2000–2014 was 63.5% for PCV13.
