a “-” denotes no resistance (0%) to the antimicrobial

b Component of PCV13

c Component of PCV15

d Component of PCV20

e Serotypes 15B and 15C were grouped together as 15B/C because of reported reversible switching between them in vivo during infection, making it difficult to precisely differentiate between the two types (18,19)

f Component of PPV23
