High rates of non-susceptibility to penicillin, macrolides and multidrug resistance were associated with specific vaccine serotypes, pandemic clones, and local sequence types. pneumoniae carriage isolates in pre-school children of the Arkhangelsk region between separately located DCCs. The serotype distribution was diverse in the area, but globally reported epidemiological features, such as age-dependence, Carriage rates A 38.4% overall frequency of pneumococcal carriage rate was found in non-vaccinated pre-school children. Serotypes, antimicrobial susceptibility, and molecular epidemiology of invasive and non-invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in paediatric patients after the introduction of 13-valent conjugate vaccine in a nationwide surveillance study conducted in ./cache/cord-009606-xz23twqx.txt ./txt/cord-009606-xz23twqx.txt
