    Author: Andam CP, Worby CJ, Gierke R, McGee L, Pilishvili T, Hanage WP.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2017 Jun; 23(6):1012-1015. PubMed ID: 28518018.
    Abstract:
    Introduction of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the United States was not associated with a significant change in prevalence of penicillin resistance in nonvaccine type serotypes because of the variable success of highly resistant serotypes. Differences in regional serotype distribution and serotype-specific resistance contributed to geographic heterogeneity of penicillin resistance.
