Prevalence of pneumococcal serotypes and resistance to antimicrobial agents in patients with meningitis: ten-year analysis
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of pneumococcal serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility in patients with meningitis, and to evaluate the implications for vaccine coverage. Methods: Pneumococcal strains obtained from normally sterile fluids from patients admitted with meningitis were isola...
