It was great significant to identify the epidemic characteristics of serotypes and antibiotic susceptibility for the prevention and treatment of <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> diseases. This research assessed the serotype distribution and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> isolated from pediatric patients to provide information on the epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> in Kunming, China. A total of 140 <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> isolates were collected from pediatric patients at Kunming Children\u2019s Hospital from January 2016 to October 2017. Serotype identification was done by Quellung reaction and multiplex polymerase chain reaction. MICs were determined by <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>-test. 140 isolates distributed in 13 types of serotypes. The top-three prevalent serotypes were 19F, 19A, and 6B. The immunization coverage rate of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) was relatively higher and should be introduced into the vaccination program in the region. MIC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> of penicillin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin was 1\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL. MIC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub> for meropenem and vancomycin was 0.38\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL. MIC<jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub> of penicillin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin was 1.5\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL and that of meropenem and vancomycin was 0.5\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL. The MIC<jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub> of erythromycin was\u2009&gt;\u2009256\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL. In summary, <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> had low resistance rates to penicillin, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, vancomycin, and meropenem, and these antibiotics could be the first-line agents for children with pneumococcal infections in Kunming.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00284-021-02365-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,19]],"date-time":"2021-02-19T16:23:16Z","timestamp":1613751796000},"page":"954-960","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Serotype Distribution and Characteristics of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolated from Pediatric Patients in Kunming, China"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Mingbiao","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mei","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaojuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hailin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiping","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jue","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tingyi","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rongwei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"2365_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"876","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-0691.2008.02058.x","volume":"14","author":"AM Shibl","year":"2008","unstructured":"Shibl AM (2008) Distribution of serotypes and antibiotic resistance of invasive pneumococcal disease isolates among children aged 5 years and under in Saudi Arabia (2000\u20132004).
