Evolution of the serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal disease along 2008-2022 in a Level 2 Public Hospital of the Madrid Region, in relation to their inclusion in different conjugate vaccines

CONCLUSIONS: The conjugate vaccines use with different serotype coverage conditioned a decrease of the vaccine-included and an increase of non-covered. Despite these changes, the global antimicrobial susceptibility patterns to erythromycin and levofloxacin maintained relatively stables. The resistance a penicillin was low, not finding this type of resistant strains in the last study period.PMID:37873744 | DOI:10.37201/req/034.2023
