Sequence types (STs) and serotypes among 16 Streptococcus pneumoniae invasive isolates recovered from adult patients.

*Allelic profiles for each gene in multilocus sequence typing (MLST) are presented in the following order: aroE, gdh, gki, recP,spi, xpt and ddl.**PMEN clones are global clones recognized by pneumococcal molecular epidemiology network.***SLV = single locus variant (i.e. differs at only one MLST locus and thus is a closely-related genotype).
