^*Allelic profiles for each gene in multilocus sequence typing (MLST) are presented in the following order: aroE, gdh, gki, recP,spi, xpt and ddl.

^**PMEN clones are global clones recognized by pneumococcal molecular epidemiology network.

^***SLV = single locus variant (i.e. differs at only one MLST locus and thus is a closely-related genotype).
