Does social deprivation correlate with meningococcal MenACWY, Hib/MenC and 4CMenB/Meningococcal Group B vaccine uptake in Northern Ireland?
CONCLUSIONS: Within the last two decades, incidence of meningococcal disease has been on the decline. The introduction of meningococcal vaccines has contributed to this decrease and uptake of such vaccines should remain a public health priority to maintain the decline in meningococcal disease. Identifying contributing factors to low vaccine uptake, such as, the association between local deprivation and uptake of meningococcal vaccines, should be of public health importance and acknowledged by local governments and policy makers in their efforts to enhance vaccine uptake, both infant and teenage vaccination. There is a clea...

Clinical Outcome and Underlying Genetic Cause of Functional Terminal Complement Pathway Deficiencies in a Multicenter UK Cohort
This study investigated the clinical outcome and genetic variation in a large UK multi-center cohort with primary and secondary terminal complement deficiencies.MethodsClinicians from seven UK centers provided anonymised demographic, clinical, and laboratory data on patients with terminal complement deficiencies, which were collated and analysed.ResultsForty patients, median age 19 (range 3 –62) years, were identified with terminal complement deficiencies. Ten (62%) of 16 patients with low serum C5 concentrations had underlying pathogenicCFH orCFI gene variants. Two-thirds were from consanguineous Asian families, and 80%...

Surveillance of the source of poultry infections with Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus cecorum in Slovenia and E. hirae antibiotic resistance patterns
New Microbiol. 2021 Dec 19;44(4). Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnterococcus cecorum and Enterococcus hirae can cause locomotor problems, septicaemia, and endocarditis in broiler chickens. Understanding transmission routes and resistance patterns are essential for effective treatment. The aim of this study was to follow the same animals from the breeder flock to the hatchery and up to 14-day-old broiler chickens on the farm to find the source of E. cecorum and E. hirae. During the production cycle, only faeces and organs of broilers were E. hirae positive in all three sampled farms in which recurrent enterococcal infection...
