Serotyping was based on cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction testing <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0052464#pone.0052464-NjanpopLafourcade1" target="_blank">[8]</a> or Quellung reaction on invasive isolates; and on Quellung reaction for carriage isolates. The table reports serotypes that were found in at least one meningitis case, found in at least three carriers, or included in 10- or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines.</p>*<p>Discrimination within the serogroup or between serotypes not possible for some meningitis cases due to PCR algorithm.</p>†<p>PCR serotyping on invasive isolates or CSF cannot discriminate between 12A/B/F, while Quellung typing of carriage isolates identified 12F only.</p>‡<p>Cornfield estimation of the confidence interval possible only under certain conditions.</p> 2012-12-20 00:49:55 pneumococcal serotypes invasive
