STs containing fewer than five isolates are not shown.
Some STs contained isolates of more than one serotype. The predominant serotype is shown first, followed by the minority serotype(s), with the numbers of isolates of these serotypes in parentheses.
A, Australia; C, Canada; D, Denmark; F, Finland; N, The Netherlands; GB, Great Britain; S, Sweden; U, Uruguay; SP, Spain.
In some cases, isolates of the same ST were either resistant (R) or susceptible (S) to erythromycin. The predominant susceptibility category is given first, and the numbers of isolates in the minority category are shown in parentheses. Pen, penicillin; Ery, erythromycin; NT, nontypeable.
