*S, susceptible; I, intermediate; R, resistant; NT, not serotyped. Boldface indicates pneumococcal conjugate valent 13 vaccine serotypes. Susceptibility testing and interpretation guidelines: penicillin MIC by Etest (S<2, I: 4, R>8 μg/mL); cefotaxime MIC by Etest (S<1, I 2, R>4 μg/mL); co-trimoxazole disk diffusion (S>19, I 16–18, R<15 mm); erythromycin disk diffusion (S>21, I 16–20, R<15 mm); ofloxacin disk diffusion (S>16, I 13–15, R<12 mm); vancomycin disk diffusion (>17 mm).
