Abstract:
Serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the common serogroups that lead to community acquired infections in children, and was divided into 6A and 6B serotypes by quellung reaction.With the application of typing methods by gene sequencing, new serotypes such as 6C, 6D, 6E, 6F and 6H have been discovered in recent years.The increase of 6C subtype in the countries or regions after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugated vaccine(PCV)7 should be emphasized.In this paper, the capsular polysaccharide synthesis genes, structure of capsular polysa-ccharide, antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology of new serotypes of serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae were discussed.
