Comparison of serotypes, sequences types and prevalence of virulence genes according to site of infection (French collection).

Legend:
aply, pavA, nanA and pspC encoding genes present in 100%,100%,100% and 98% of the collection; respectively
b one isolate in each group with both families 1 and 2 genes, no family 3 detected, nine isolates with not typeable pspA (2 in meningitis,7 in pneumonia), one isolate without any pspA identified
Abbreviations: IQR = interquartile range, N = number, Sp = serotype, ST = sequence type, MLST = multilocus sequence typing, PCV13 = 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
