After the introduction of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, the global spread of multidrug-resistant serotype 19A-sequence type 320 (ST320) strains ofStreptococcus pneumoniae became a public health concern. In Japan, the main genotype of serotype 19A was ST3111, and the identification rate of ST320 was low.
