We characterized Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6D from among previously identified S. pneumoniae serotype 6B strains from Jewish and Bedouin children in southern Israel during a decade before vaccination. S. pneumoniae serotype 6D isolates constituted 6.7% of the presumed S. pneumoniae serotype 6B isolates. S. pneumoniae serotype 6D strains belonged to 20 sequence types that were differentially distributed between the two ethnic groups.

Respiratory disease (RD) is a worldwide leading threat to the pig industry, but there is still limited understanding of the pathogens associated with swine RD. In this study, we conducted a nationwide genomic surveillance on identifying viruses, bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) from the lungs of pigs with RD in China. By performing metatranscriptomic sequencing combined with metagenomic sequencing, we identified 21 viral species belonging to 12 viral families.

Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a serious global public health problem and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults in China. Thus, developing and administering pneumococcal vaccines are important for disease prevention. The PPV23 and PCV13 vaccines are available in the Chinese market and are primarily produced by domestic manufacturers.

Background: Myanmar is one of the countries in Southeast Asia where serious dengue outbreaks occur and Yangon is among the regions with the highest number of cases in the country. Many infections including dengue are common in Yangon during the rainy season, and co-infections may also occur. Adults are more likely than children to experience co-infections of dengue and other diseases.

Background: Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a prevalent respiratory pathogen causing substantial economic losses in swine production worldwide. The bacterium's ability to rapidly develop antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant challenge to effective treatment and control. In Poland, limited data on A.

SUMMARY (the "pneumococcus") is a significant human pathogen. The key determinant of pneumococcal fitness and virulence is its ability to produce a protective polysaccharide (PS) capsule, and anti-capsule antibodies mediate serotype-specific opsonophagocytic killing of bacteria. Notably, immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has effectively reduced the burden of disease caused by serotypes included in vaccines but has also spurred a relative upsurge in the prevalence of non-vaccine serotypes.
