Article Synopsis
- Listeriosis is a serious public health concern due to its high death rate, prompting this study to explore its characteristics in Madagascar, where it's a reported disease.
- The research zeroes in on a deadly case of meningeal listeriosis in a 12-year-old, discovering a unique genomic type of the bacteria with specific virulence and drug resistance traits.
- This study marks the first genomic profiling of Listeria in Madagascar, underscoring the need for continuous surveillance to improve prevention and control efforts in the area.

Article Synopsis
- A rare gram-positive bacillus, an intracellular pathogen, can cause severe complications in pregnancy, leading to conditions like neonatal meningitis, as seen in two documented cases.
- The first case involved a 7-day-old baby with high fever and feeding refusal, diagnosed with meningitis due to a CAMP-negative strain, requiring intensive treatment and mechanical ventilation before improving on appropriate antibiotics.
- The second case involved an 11-day-old low birth weight infant who displayed symptoms suggestive of sepsis, prompting immediate empirical antibiotic administration and further investigation.

BACKGROUND Bacterial meningitis is a serious and life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. This retrospective study aimed to identify causes, presentation, and predictive factors for outcomes of community-acquired bacterial meningitis in 86 adults in Vilnius, Lithuania between 2018 and 2021. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of demographic, clinical, and laboratory records of 86 adult patients admitted to Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Clinics with a diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis during the period of 2018-2021.

Background: is a food-borne pathogen that is a rare cause of bacteraemia and meningitis in immunosuppressed patients, and carries a high mortality rate. Cutaneous manifestations of listeriosis are rare, and are usually associated with direct inoculation of the skin.
Case: A 41-year-old woman who initially presented to a hospital in Laos with appendicitis was diagnosed with disseminated listeriosis with cutaneous involvement.
