Surveillance of invasive meningococcal disease in southern Brazil: considerations of an immunization programme
This study aimed to determine the epidemiological profile of IMD in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná, three states in southern Brazil. We analysed 1024 IMD cases that had been confirmed by clinical and/or laboratory criteria and reported to the national information system for notifiable diseases between 2015 and 2019. Additionally, we calculated the proportions of serogroup and incidence by age. Of 1024 cases, 562 (55 %) were caused by serogroup C. Furthermore, serogroup W was responsible for almost half of the cases among children younger than 5 years between 2017 and 2018, with an overall incidence of 1.5 ca...

< em > Haemophilus influenzae < /em > type f in the post- < em > Haemophilus influenzae < /em > type b vaccination era: a systematic review
J Med Microbiol. 2022 Oct;71(10). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001606.ABSTRACTSince the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) serotype b (Hib) vaccination, reports of increasing incidence rates of non-Hib serotypes have emerged. A systematic review was performed to investigate whether the Hi serotype f (Hif) incidence rate has increased globally and to describe its associated disease burden. In the post-Hib vaccine era, evidence shows that the incidence rate of Hif infection is increasing worldwide. In total 94 studies including 2 701 patients reported Hif infections. The estimated pooled incidence rate of Hif infection was 0....

Factors affecting antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae following vaccination introduction
Trends Microbiol. 2022 Jul 14:S0966-842X(22)00143-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2022.06.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStreptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and septicaemia worldwide. Pneumococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been highlighted by the WHO as an important public health concern, with emerging serotypes showing resistance to multiple antibiotics. Indeed, although the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has been associated with an overall decline in pneumococcal AMR, there have been increases in prevalence of potentially disease-causing AMR serotypes not targete...
