Methods: Patients aged 0–18 years with AOM who presented at Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan were prospectively enrolled between December 1, 2009, and November 30, 2012. For each patient, a specimen of middle-ear fluid was obtained and cultured. S. pneumoniae isolates were tested by serotyping, antibiotic-resistance profiling, and multilocus sequence typing. Demographic characteristics and clinical history of patients with pneumococcal AOM were recorded. Results: Pneumococcal AOM was observed in 108 (24.8%) of 436 episodes. One hundred and four isolates of S. pneumoniae were available for study. The most common serotypes were 19A (67 isolates, 64.4%), followed by 19F (16 isolates, 15.4%), and 3 (7 isolates, 6.7%). Among the 85 sequence-typed isolates, Serotype 19A ST320 (50, 58.8%) was the most frequent. Children with AOM caused by Serotype 19A ST320 were younger (33.9 ± 21.4 months vs. 46.7 ± 35.9 months, p = 0.04) and had a higher rate of spontaneous rupture of the tympanic membrane (64.0% vs. 40%, p = 0.05) than those caused by isolates of other sequence types. Serotype 19A ST320 caused 90% of AOM episodes in children aged ? 12 months and had had higher resistance rates to penicillin according to meningeal breakpoints (p = 0.011), amoxicillin (p < 0.001) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazol (p < 0.001). Conclusions: It is better to use pneumococcal conjugate vaccine effective against Serotype 19A in early infancy to prevent the first and subsequent episodes of AOM in children in Taiwan. ? 2017 |
