Abstract
We genotyped Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6C (Sp6C) isolates collected from Jewish and Bedouin children in southern Israel during the decade before vaccination. Sp6C constituted 8.2% of the presumed Sp6A isolates. All of the Sp6C clonal clusters were associated with serogroup 6, mainly Sp6A. Different clonal distributions were found in the two subpopulations.
