Table 1.
Distribution of S. pneumoniae serotypes based on their susceptibilities to PCG.
Table 2.
Distribution of S. pneumoniae serotypes based on their macroride-resistant traits.
Figure 1.
Distribution of PspA familes based on sex, age and origin of pneumococci.
MEF: middle ear fluid, ND/SA: nasal discharge/sinus aspirate, PS: pharyngeal secretion. Each numbers shows numbers of isolates and percentage shows in parenthesis. There is no significant differences in PspA family distribution based on sex, age and origin of isolates.
Figure 2.
Distribution of PspA familes based on antimicoribila suscptibilities.
PSSP: penicillin susceptible S. pneumoniae, PISP: Penicillin intermediately resistant S. pneumoniae, PRSP: penicillin resistant S. pneumoniae. Each numbers shows numbers of isolates and percentage shows in parenthesis. *p<0.05.
Figure 3.
Distribution of PspA familes based on pneumococcal serotypes.
G23: serogroup 23 strains except serotype 23F. Others: serotypes not included in 23 PPV. Each numbers shows numbers of isolates and percentage shows in parenthesis. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
