Association of Serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae with Age in Invasive Pneumococcal Disease

Association of Serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae with Age in Invasive Pneumococcal Disease

A total of 7,764 isolates from patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) were collected from 1992 to June 2006. Data on serotypes were available for 5,022 isolates (64.7% of all invasive isolates). Some 54.0% of the isolates originated from adults ≥16 years of age, and 46.0% were from childr...
