Names Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 700669
Accession numbers NC_011900
Background A Gram-positive nonmotile bacterium, Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial cause of acute respiratory infection and otitis media, and is estimated to result in over 1 millions deaths in children, the elderly, debilitated and immunosuppressed people every year. Since 1990 the number of penicillin-resistant strains has increased and many strains are now resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics such as penicillin, macrolides and fluoroquinones. Strain AP200 is a clinical strain isolated in Italy in 2003 from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with meningitis. It is serotype 11A and sequence type (ST) 2003, which is a single-locus variant of ST62. It is resistant to erythromycin, inducibly resistant to clindamycin and susceptible to penicillin and tetracycline (adapted from PMID 18070957). (EBI Integr8)
