Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A ST320 in Japan
In Japan, serotype 19A-ST320 pneumococci are recovered mainly in Okinawa prefecture, meanwhile a prevalent clone in serotype 19A in the mainland Japan is ST3111. We conducted a whole genome sequencing analysis of the 19A-ST320 isolates in Japan (mainly recovered in Okinawa prefecture) to reaveal their genetic characteristics.
