Article Synopsis
- Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is on the rise, especially post-COVID-19, due to decreased vaccination rates and relaxed health measures.
- Researchers analyzed six Neisseria meningitidis serogroup X isolates from Brazil over three decades using whole-genome sequencing, discovering a major lineage.
- The study highlights the presence of the ST2888 lineage in Brazil and emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring to prevent non-vaccine preventable IMD cases.
Introduction: Nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes are the main cause of human food-borne infection, including several hospitalization cases in the developing countries.
Aim: To detect the main serotypes and to characterize the antibiotic resistance of human non-enteric and enteric nontyphoidal Salmonella from clinical isolates in Brazil.
Methods: Salmonella serotypes were identified by microbiological and molecular methods.
