This study details an Australian multi-state and territory outbreak of serotype 1 S. pneumoniae IPD between 2010 and 2012. Molecular characterization demonstrated the outbreak was largely due to the clonal expansion of sequence type 306, MLVA type 261 S. pneumoniae serotype 1. | DOI: | 10.1017/S0950268814000648 | metadata.dc.rights.holder: | Jennison, Amy V | Keywords: | Streptococcus pneumoniae;Ambroxol | Type: | Journal article |
