Figure 1 Distribution of capsular serotypes and capsule-associated virulence genes among the isolates collected from male and female specimens.
Note: *Higher prevalence of K20 serotype was found in the clinical specimens collected from females in comparison to males (p-value = 0.02). NT: the isolates that did not belong to the K1, K2, K5, K20, K54, or K57 serotype.
Abbreviations: K, capsular polysaccharide (K antigen); NT, non-typeable.
