“…As a result, PfaSTer prediction is limited to 65 types due to a shortage of available genomes for rare serotypes. From recent studies, commonly collected serotypes shared across the US, Europe, and Asia include 1, 3, 6A, 6B, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F, with other serotypes identified at lower frequency [27][28][29][30][31]. Unsurprisingly, these prevalent serotypes are all included in the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) formulations of PCV13 [32] and PCV20 [8].…”
