What this entity is

Canonical name: Streptococcus pneumoniae 1

Known aliases: S. pneumoniae 1

Stable external identifier: Not reported in the source document. 1

Key facts from the environmental resistome analysis

The analysis included 7,944 Streptococcus pneumoniae genomes. 1

The species had 59 AMR gene clusters, of which 1 was core and 58 were accessory. 1

Accessory AMR represented 98% of the species’ AMR gene clusters. 1

Streptococcus pneumoniae was clinical-dominant, with 99.6% of its environmental classification attributed to clinical sources. 1

This case study contributes to the report’s finding that deeply sampled, clinically represented species can have highly accessory AMR repertoires, although the analysis is observational and the species-level classification does not constitute a per-genome within-species comparison. 1

The pan-bacterial atlas supports this clinical-versus-environmental interpretation at aggregate scale: human/Clinical species averaged 10.6 AMR clusters per species, compared with 4.6 for Soil/Terrestrial species, and clinical AMR was 30.8% core versus 58.1% for soil AMR. These atlas values are not species-specific measurements for S. pneumoniae. 2
