We conducted a comprehensive review of policies and practices for the use of protein-based MenB vaccines (Bexsero® [GlaxoSmithKline] and Trumenba® [Pfizer]) in all countries (n = 58) where either or b...
We found evidence of a national MenB vaccination policy in 24 out of 58 countries where one or both protein-based MenB vaccines are authorized. Of these, 15 countries have included MenB vaccination in...
Our findings highlighted the significant heterogeneity in recommendations for MenB vaccination across countries. Greater transparency in reporting MenB vaccination recommendations and more robust data...
Diverse serogroups of Escherichia coli cause sporadic cases and outbreaks of diarrhea among children. Our study aimed to evaluate the serogroups of diarrheagenic strains of E. coli that cause diarrhea...
The retrospective study included 130 strains of pathogenic E. coli, isolated from children who were less than two years of age, and had diarrheal disease, between May 2016 and July 2019. The study was...
After agglutination with polyvalent O antisera, slightly more than half of the strains (50.77%) were sero-grouped as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), and the rest of the strains belonged to the E...
STEC serogroups were the most common strains causing diarrheal disease, and O-157 was the dominant serogroup identified. The strains included in our study presented high genetic diversity, suggesting ...
Infections by meningococcal species are extremely rare in the first days of life. We present a fatal case of early-onset sepsis presenting at birth, caused by intrauterine transmission of serogroup Y ...

In February 2018, a confirmed case of Lp1 infection was notified in a man in his 60s hospitalised with pneumonia. We asked the clinical team to obtain sputum in the event we found a potential source. ...
Lp1 was grown from the case's sputum and microbial analysis of the spa water sample found Lp1 at a concentration of 20 CFU/mL. The human and environmental isolates were subjected to whole genome seque...
Whole genome sequencing of the clinical and environmental Lp1 isolates implicated a contaminated spa pool as the source of the case's exposure. This strongly supports the application of whole genome s...
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is the causative agent of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). Meningococcus of serogroup B (MenB) is one of the main serogroup causing IMD. MenB strains may be...
Overall, alignments of FHbp nucleotide and protein sequence from 155 MenB samples collected in different parts of Italy, from 2014 to 2017, were analyzed by ClustalW. JModeltest and the Smart Model Se...
