isolates of serotype 3 were collected from cases of invasive pneumococcal disease ( = 124) throughout Japan between April 2010 and March 2013. A penicillin-resistant (PRSP) isolate from an adult patient, strain KK0981 of serotype 3, was identified among these strains. Whole-genome analysis characterized this PRSP as a recombinant strain derived from PRSP of serotype 23F with the locus (20.3 kb) replaced by that of a penicillin-susceptible strain of serotype 3.
2010 年 4 月至 2013 年 3 月期间,从日本各地侵袭性肺炎球菌病(=124)病例中采集了 3 型分离株。在这些菌株中鉴定出一株来自成人患者的耐青霉素(PRSP)分离株,血清型 3 菌株 KK0981。全基因组分析表明,该 PRSP 是由血清型 23F 的 PRSP 重组而来,其 基因座(20.3 kb)被血清型 3 的青霉素敏感株所取代。
