新描述的肺炎链球菌血清型6C占2.3%（16/709）的脑膜炎病例和3.2%（3/95）的鼻咽分离株从健康人在巴西。菌株为多重耐药（18.8%）和遗传多样性。尽管血清型6C流行率较低，但仍有必要进行持续监测，以指导疫苗策略。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
The newly described Streptococcus pnemnoniae serotype 6C accounted for 2.3% (16/709) of meningitis cases and 3.2% (3/95) of nasopharyngeal isolates from healthy individuals in Brazil. The strains were multidrug resistant (18.8%) and genetically diverse. Despite low serotype 6C prevalence, Continuous surveillance is necessary to guide vaccine strategies. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
