Major Shift of Toxigenic V. cholerae O1 from Ogawa to Inaba Serotype Isolated from Clinical and Environmental Samples in Haiti. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
In October of 2010, an outbreak of cholera was confirmed in Haiti for the first time in more than a century. A single clone of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor serotype Ogawa strain was implicated as the cause.

The Widespread Multidrug-Resistant Serotype O12 Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clone Emerged through Concomitant Horizontal Transfer of Serotype Antigen and Antibiotic Resistance Gene Clusters

mBio, 2015
The O-specific antigen (OSA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide is highly varied by sugar identity, side chains, and bond between O-repeats. These differences classified P. aeruginosa into 20 distinct serotypes. In the past few decades, O12 has

Serotype distribution and invasive potential of group B streptococcus isolates causing disease in infants and colonizing maternal-newborn dyads. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Serotype-specific polysaccharide based group B streptococcus (GBS) vaccines are being developed. An understanding of the serotype epidemiology associated with maternal colonization and invasive disease in infants is necessary to determine the potential ...

Meta-analysis of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis fingerprints based on a constructed Salmonella database. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A database was constructed consisting of 45,923 Salmonella pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. The patterns, randomly selected from all submissions to CDC PulseNet during 2005 to 2010, included the 20 most frequent serotypes and 12 less ...

Genomic analysis of virulence, antimicrobial resistance, and capsular polysaccharide locus of group B Streptococcus isolated from Indonesia

The Microbe
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of most common pathogen infecting neonates. This study aims to analyze the genomic characteristics of GBS, including antibiotic resistance genes, virulence genes, and the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) locus,

Epidemiology of Serotype 1 Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, South Africa, 2003–2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
In South Africa, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) was introduced in April 2009 and replaced with 13-valent PCV in April 2011. We describe the epidemiology of serotype 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae disease during the pre- and post-PCV eras (2003–

Serotype, mating type and ploidy of Cryptococcus neoformans strains isolated from patients in Brazil

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2002
Serotype, mating type and ploidy of 84 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans isolated from 61 AIDS and 23 non-AIDS patients admitted in a tertiary teaching hospital in São Paulo, Brazil were examined. Among 61 strains isolated from AIDS patients, 60 strains

The incidence of invasive pneumococcal serotype 3 disease in the Danish population is not reduced by PCV-13 vaccination

Heliyon, 2016
Since 2010, Denmark has included the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PCV-13) in the childhood immunization programme. However, serotype 3 remains as an important cause of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Denmark.
