High prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in non-vaccine serotypes of non-invasive/colonization isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae: A cross-sectional study eight years after the licensure of conjugate vaccine in Japan

High prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in non-vaccine serotypes of non-invasive/colonization isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae: A cross-sectional study eight years after the licensure of conjugate vaccine in Japan

Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR) in non-vaccine serotypes (NVTs)-Streptococcus pneumoniae is a global public health concern after the widespread use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs). The present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibilities of n...
