Interestingly, strains belonging to CC271 (where sequence type 271 is the predicted founder of the CC) contain both PI-1 and PI-2, as revealed by genome analyses.

We characterized the prevalence of pilus islets 1 (PI-1) and 2 (PI-2) and the clonality of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates taken from children with acute otitis media (AOM) to study the association between pilus existence and AOM disease potential prior to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and increased antimicrobial resistance.

Isolates were studied for antimicrobial susceptibility and were serotyped, genotyped by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and tested for the presence of pneumococcal PI-1 and PI-2 genes.

The importance of PI-1 in AOM infections and its association with the spread of antimicrobial resistance requires further research.

We examined the distribution of the two pilus island loci (PI-1 and PI-2) in all pediatric invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) isolates recovered in Portugal over the ten year period 1999-2008 (n=575).

|
Only serotypes 19F and 19A contained isolates carrying simultaneously PI-1 and PI-2 and the proportion of isolates carrying both pilus islands remained stable and low.

The presence of the pilus islets PI-1 and PI-2 was detected by PCR assays targeting a marker gene in each islet.

Of the 13 isolates which carried both PI-1 and PI-2, 10 were of clinical origin.

Because of the removal of vaccine serotype strains, positivity for one or both pilus types (PI-1 and PI-2) decreased in the post-PCV13 years 2011-2013 relative to 2008-2009 (decreases of 32-55% for PI-1, and >95% for PI-2 and combined PI-1 + PI-2). β-Lactam susceptibility phenotypes correlated consistently with transpeptidase region sequence combinations of the three major penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) determined through WGS analysis.
