Antibiotic resistance pattern, capsular types, and molecular characterization of invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the south of Tunisia from 2012 to 2018

Antibiotic resistance pattern, capsular types, and molecular characterization of invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the south of Tunisia from 2012 to 2018

Abstract Background Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this study, we sought to analyze serotype distributions, antibiotic resistance, and genetic relationships of 106 clinical invasive pneumococcal isolates recovered in Tunisia between 2012 and...
