Neisseria meningitidis Sequence Type and Risk for Death, Iceland

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Invasive meningococcal infections are hyperendemic in Iceland, a relatively isolated country in the mid-Atlantic. We performed a nationwide study on all viable meningococcal strains (N = 362) from 1977 to 2004.

Spatially dense stochastic epidemic models with infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We study an individual-based stochastic spatial epidemic model where the number of locations and the number of individuals at each location both grow to infinity. Each individual is associated with a random infection-age dependent infectivity function. Individuals are infected through interactions across the locations with heterogeneous effects.

Immunoelectroosmophoresis in the diagnosis of meningococcal infections [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1972
Specimens of cerebrospinal fluid and serum from 22 cases of meningococcal infection were examined by immunoelectroosmophoresis and the results compared with those obtained by microscopy and culture. The results were the same except that three of 10 cases of group B infection were not diagnosed by immunoelectroosmophoresis and two of 10 cases of group C

Clinical Outcomes and Treatment Strategies of Adult Transplant‐Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy: External Validation of Harmonizing Definitions and High‐Risk Criteria

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 830-839, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Transplant‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA‐TMA) is an endothelial dysfunction syndrome observed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT). Our aim was to externally validate the impact of high‐risk features on the clinical outcomes of adult patients meeting the updated TA‐TMA harmonizing criteria. Between 2005 and 2022,

Fatal meningococcal meningitis in a HIV-infected patient caused by serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis belonging to the non-hypervirulent clonal complex ST-60 (cc60)

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Meningococcal strains belonging to clonal complex cc60 are not associated with hypervirulent lineages and were never reported as causing disease in Latin American countries.

A re-entrant phase transition in the survival of secondary infections on networks [PDF]

, 2018
We study the dynamics of secondary infections on networks, in which only the individuals currently carrying a certain primary infection are susceptible to the secondary infection. In the limit of large sparse networks, the model is mapped to a branching process spreading in a random time-sensitive environment, determined by the dynamics of the ...

Beta‐Lactam Antibiotics Promote Extracellular Vesicle Production of Staphylococcus aureus Through ROS‐Mediated Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural reservoirs of biological active substances. They exhibit promising application in developing bioproducts such as vaccine, drug‐delivery system and anticancer agent. However, the low yield of naturally secreted EVs during bacterial growth is a bottleneck factor that restricts EV applications ...

The Meningococcal Cysteine Transport System Plays a Crucial Role in Neisseria meningitidis Survival in Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells

mBio, 2018
While Neisseria meningitidis typically exists in an asymptomatic nasopharyngeal carriage state, it may cause potentially lethal diseases in humans, such as septicemia or meningitis, by invading deeper sites in the body. Since the nutrient compositions of

Childhood Vaccine Hesitancy as an Interaction‐Based Phenomenon

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 47, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The paper discusses the role of the interaction between parents and healthcare professionals in overcoming or heightening childhood vaccine hesitancy. Childhood vaccine hesitancy is seen as a set of attitudes and behaviours—that is, dispositions—that are highly dependent on how trust and vulnerability intersect during vaccination appointments.
