Epidemiology, resistance genomics and susceptibility of < em > Acinetobacter < /em > species: results from the 2020 Spanish nationwide surveillance study
ConclusionsThe emergence of OXA-23-producing ST1 and ST2, the predominant MDR lineages, shows a pivotal shift in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) epidemiology in Spain. Coupled with increased colistin resistance, these changes underscore notable alterations in regional antimicrobial resistance dynamics.PMID:38606569 | PMC:PMC11010588 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.15.2300352 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Excess mortality in Europe coincides with peaks of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), November 2023 to February 2024
Euro Surveill. 2024 Apr;29(15):2400178. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.15.2400178.ABSTRACTSince the end of November 2023, the European Mortality Monitoring Network (EuroMOMO) has observed excess mortality in Europe. During weeks 48 2023-6 2024, preliminary results show a substantially increased rate of 95.3 (95% CI: 91.7-98.9) excess all-cause deaths per 100,000 person-years for all ages. This excess mortality is seen in adults aged 45 years and older, and coincides with widespread presence of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) observed in many European countries during the 2023/24 winter season.P...

Emergence of OXA-48-like producing < em > Citrobacter < /em > species, Germany, 2011 to 2022
ConclusionIn CF in Germany, OXA-48 is the predominant carbapenemase. Dissemination is likely due to distinct highly transmissible plasmids harbouring bla OXA‑48 or bla OXA-48-like and the spread of the high-risk clonal lineages ST19 and ST22.PMID:38606571 | PMC:PMC11010590 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.15.2300528 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Neonatal < em > Elizabethkingia anophelis < /em > meningitis originating from the water reservoir of an automated infant milk dispenser, the Netherlands, February 2024
We report a Dutch case of E. anophelis meningitis in a neonate, clonally related to samples taken from an automated infant milk dispenser located at the family's residence. We inform about the emergence of E. anophelis and suggest molecular surveillance in hospitals and other health settings. This is the first case connecting an automated formula dispenser to an invasive infection in a neonate.PMID:38577802 | PMC:PMC11004591 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.14.2400177 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Pertussis epidemic in Denmark, August 2023 to February 2024
We report a record high pertussis epidemic in Denmark since August 2023. Highest incidence was in adolescents, while peak incidence in infants was lower vs previous epidemics in 2019 and 2016. Among infants aged 0-2 months, over half (29/48) were hospitalised and one infant died, underlining the disease severity in the youngest. To protect infants, pertussis vaccination in pregnant women was introduced in January 2024 in the national vaccination programme. Improved vaccination surveillance in pregnant women is being implemented.PMID:38577803 | PMC:PMC11004589 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.14.2400160 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Detection of dengue in German tourists returning from Ibiza, Spain, related to an autochthonous outbreak, August to October 2022
Euro Surveill. 2024 Apr;29(14):2300296. doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.14.2300296.ABSTRACTIn February 2023, German public health authorities reported two dengue cases (one confirmed, one probable) and four possible cases who travelled to Ibiza, Spain, in late summer/autumn 2022; the infection was probably acquired through mosquito bites. Case 1 visited Ibiza over 1 week in late August with two familial companions; all three developed symptoms the day after returning home. Only Case 1 was tested; dengue virus (DENV) infection was confirmed by presence of NS1 antigen and IgM antibodies. Case 2 travelled to Ibiza with two ...
