The most frequently isolated serotypes of <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> were types 14 (18.4\u200a%), 23F (15.1\u200a%), 3 (13.8\u200a%), 19F (13.4\u200a%), 6B (8.2\u200a%), 9V (3.6\u200a%) and 4 (2.5\u200a%). The majority of cases were either under 5\u2005years of age (24.1\u200a%) or older than 65\u2005years (36.6\u200a%). Serotype distribution in adults aged over 14\u2005years and children aged under 2\u2005years was similar, except for that of type 3, which was more prevalent in adults. Penicillin-non-susceptible strains accounted for 67.7\u200a% of all strains and were the predominant strains of serotypes 23F, 19F, 6B and 14. Most strains were susceptible to cephem drug, 85.7\u200a% of isolates were susceptible to cefotaxime and 92.9\u200a% were susceptible to ceftriaxone. A total of 72.6\u200a% (379\/522) of the isolates were resistant to at least two antibiotics. The 23-valent vaccine in the current commercial market would cover 87.2\u200a% of the serotypes and 100\u200a% of the penicillin-non-susceptible serotypes of <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> in Taiwan. The coverage of 7- and 11-valent protein conjugate vaccines of the serotypes in children under 2\u2005years of age would be 78.8 and 86.5\u200a%, respectively. These results will help to assess the adequacy of the vaccine formulations marketed in Taiwan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/jmm.0.46530-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,18]],"date-time":"2006-07-18T23:08:08Z","timestamp":1153264088000},"page":"1109-1114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Surveillance
