After increasing from 1995 to 1999, invasive erythromycin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae rates per 100,000 decreased 53.6% in children from Baltimore, Maryland (US), from 1999 to 2001, which was partially attributed to strains related to the mef E-carrying England 14 -9 clone. The decline in infection rates was likely due to the pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine.
