Evolution and genetic diversity of the Spain23F-ST81 clone causing adult invasive pneumococcal disease in Barcelona (1990-2012).
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to analyse the clinical epidemiology and genetic diversity of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) episodes attributed to the Spain(23F)-ST81 (PMEN1) clone. METHODS: Fifty-eight (2.7%) of 2117 invasive pneumococci isolated from adult patients during the 1990-2012 period shared a...
