Background. Penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates are confined mainly to a few serogroups. Capsular transformation may serve as a mechanism for spreading antibiotic resistance to new serotypes.Methods. Antibiogram and molecular typing, by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), were performed on 46 nasopharyngeal and middle ear fluid (MEF) isolates expressing serotype 11A, 45 MEF isolates expressing serotype 15B/C ( recovered during 1998 - 2003 from Israeli children
