چکیده
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium found most commonly in the respiratory tract of humans and is a common cause of pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six S. pneumoniae strains: CCUG 1350, CCUG 7206, CCUG 11780, CCUG 33774, CCUG 35180, and CCUG 35272.

Comment on "Serotypes and susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from children in Mexico".
Dear Editor: Villaseñor-Sierra and colleagues present data on the serotypes and antibiotic susceptibility of S. pneumoniae strains from 48 children 1 to 12 years of age with invasive infections and 50 carriers in Mexico from March 2000 to May 2005.1 Serotype distribution, in addition to incidence of disease, is an important parameter to assess conjugate vaccination and this information adds to ...
متن کاملSerotypes and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates from Invasive Pneumococcal Disease and Asymptomatic Carriage in a Pre-vaccination Period, in Algeria
In Algeria, few data is available concerning the distribution of pneumococcal serotypes and respective antibiotic resistance for the current pre-vaccination period, which is a public health concern. We identified the most frequent Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup/types implicated in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; n = 80) and carriage (n = 138) in Algerian children younger than 5 years ol...
متن کاملSimultaneous identification of 29 prevalent invasive pneumococcal serotypes or pairs of serotypes by hybridization-ligation PCR.
A hybridization-ligation PCR assay was developed for the simultaneous detection and identification of 21 pneumococcal serotypes and 8 pairs of serotypes in the same serogroup: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 6C-6D, 7F-7A, 8, 9A-9V, 9N-9L, 11A, 14, 15B-15C, 16F, 17F, 18B-18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 21, 22A-22F, 23A, 23B, 23F, 28A-28F, 35B and 38. This novel assay was validated with 185 serotyped pneumococcal inva...
متن کاملMultinational study of pneumococcal serotypes causing acute otitis media in children.
BACKGROUND Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of acute otitis media (AOM) in young children. More than 90 immunologically distinct pneumococcal serotypes have been identified, but limited information is available regarding their relative importance in AOM. METHODS We analyzed nine existing datasets comprising pneumococcal isolates from middle ear fluid samples collected from 1994 throu...
متن کاملNovel pneumococcal serotypes 6C and 6D: anomaly or harbinger.
Clinical use of the 7-valent pneumococcal protein conjugate (PCV7) vaccine, which includes serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F, dramatically reduced invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD); however, the effectiveness was diminished due to serotype shift. Although shift due to known serotypes was anticipated, shift by misidentified serotypes was unexpected. We describe the experience with new...
