- Serotypes and susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from children in Mexico Maricarmen Lomas-Bautista Alberto Villaseñor-Sierra Sergio Aguilar-Benavides Gerardo Martínez-Aguilar Salud anti child Mexico serotyping susceptibility Objective. To identify serotypes and susceptibility of S. pneumoniae strains from 48 children with invasive infections and 50 carriers. Material and Methods. Typing was performed by the Quellung reaction and susceptibility by Kirby-Bauer and Etest according to CLSI standards. Results. Of 31 meningeal strains, serotypes 19F, 3, 6B, 14 and 23F were predominant. Resistance to penicillin and STX was 16and 58%, respectively; of 17 invasive non-meningeal strains, serotypes 19F and 3 were predominant and resistance topenicillin and SXT was 0 and 82%, respectively; of carrier strains, serotypes 6A, 6B, 19F and 23F were predominant.Conclusions. A 10-valent conjugate vaccine could offer a better coverage for meningeal strains. 2008 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10650409 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.4 Vol.50
