This study shows that serotype 16F lineages are predominant in Southern Africa and are associated with disease and antimicrobial resistance. Although serotype 16F has been included in the newer formulation of the upcoming vaccine formulations of PCV21 and IVT-25, continuous surveillance to determine long term impact of serotype 16F lineages on vaccines and antimicrobial therapy remains essential.
