Figure

Number and ST distribution of pneumococcal serotype 19A strains isolated from invasive disease and carriage, Belgium. Shown are IPD cases in young children during 2010, 2012–2014, and 2017–2018; serotype 19A strains isolated from IPD cases in older persons during 2018; and serotype 19A strains carried by children during 2017–2018. Different colors indicate different STs. IPD, invasive pneumococcal disease; PCV, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; ST, sequence type.
