Spatiotemporal Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Meningococci can cause clusters of disease. Specimens from 1,616 patients in Germany obtained over 42 months were typed by serogrouping and sequence typing of PorA and FetA and yielded a highly diverse dataset (Simpson's index 0.963). A retrospective spatiotemporal scan statistic (SaTScan) was applied in an automated fashion to identify clusters for ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Emergence and Genomic Characterization of a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate From a New Clone in Brazil

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 261-267, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has emerged globally as a major public health concern, often associated with severe community‐acquired and healthcare‐associated human infections. Despite alerts from PAHO/WHO on convergent hvKp strains with multidrug resistance in Latin America, comprehensive data from Brazil, the region's largest ...

Acetyl‐Phosphate Dependent Protein Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The role of acetyl‐phosphate‐dependent non‐enzymatic protein acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated through the deletion of the phosphotransacetylase (pta) and the acetate kinase (ackA) genes, this led to a decrease and increase in protein acetylation, respectively.

Space-Time Cluster Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Clusters are recognized when meningococcal cases of the same phenotypic strain (markers: serogroup, serotype, and subtype) occur in spatial and temporal proximity. The incidence of such clusters was compared to the incidence that would be expected by chance by using space-time nearest-neighbor analysis of 4,887 confirmed invasive meningococcal cases ...

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

Mass gatherings: a review of the scope for meningococcal vaccination in the Indian context

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021
The risk of meningococcal transmission is increased with crowding and prolonged close proximity between people. There have been numerous invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) outbreaks associated with mass gatherings and other overcrowded situations ...
