Abstract
S. pneumoniae is a cause of many serious invasive and non-invasive diseases. The incidence of these diseases and increasing pathogen resistance to antibacterial drugs determine the topicality of designing effective prophylactic preparations. To monitor circulating strains in different regions and periods is one of the important conditions for solving this problem since immunity is type-specific in pneumococcal infections. There are presently 90 (over 90 according to some investigators’ data) known S. pneumoniae serotypes. The serotype can be determined if an appropriate tool, such as diagnostic pneumococcal sera, is available.
