Recently, we have identified an extensively drug-resistant (XDR)Streptococcus pneumoniaeserotype 15A isolate from a patient with bacterial meningitis. It belonged to sequence type 8279 (ST8279), a clone identified as XDR serotype 11A isolated in South Korea. We obtained and compared the genome seque...
