Phylogenic tree and recombination sites of 24 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 15B/C-ST83 isolates collected from Taiwan during 2013–2017 and 3 serotype 23F-ST81 isolates collected during an earlier study in Taiwan. Phylogenic tree compares these 27 isolates against the reference strain, S. pneumoniae Spain23F-ST81 ATCC-700669 (GenBank accession no. FM211187). Blue text represents the 15B/C-ST83 serotype isolates from this study, which cluster together in the tree. Recombination positions are b

Blue text represents the 15B/C-ST83 serotype isolates from this study, which cluster together in the tree. Recombination positions are based on the 2,221,315-bp of the reference strain. Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. ST, sequence type.
