Emergence of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in Lithuania, 2023: a multi-cluster, multi-hospital outbreak

Paulius Greičius, Marius Linkevičius, Jelena Razmuk, Jekaterina Sinotova et autres

In 2023, an increase of OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was noticed by the Lithuanian National Public Health Surveillance Laboratory. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 106 OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae isolates revealed three distinct clusters of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae high-risk clones, including sequence type (ST) …

Circulation of pertussis and poor protection against diphtheria among middle-aged adults in 18 European countries

Guy A. M. Berbers, Pieter G. M. van Gageldonk, Jan van de Kassteele, Ursula Wiedermann et autres

Reported incidence of pertussis in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) varies and may not reflect the real situation, while vaccine-induced protection against diphtheria and tetanus seems sufficient. We aimed to determine the seroprevalence of DTP antibodies in …

Coding-Complete Genome Sequences of Six Influenza Type A Strains Circulating in Lithuania in the 2009–2010 Epidemic Season

Łukasz Rąbalski, Bogusław Szewczyk, Kęstutis Žagminas, Algirdas Griškevičius et autres

Here, we report the coding-complete genome sequences of six influenza A(H1N1) strains that were detected in Vilnius, Lithuania, among patients exhibiting influenza-like symptoms during the 2009-2010 epidemic season, within national influenza surveillance. Several mutations were found in genes encoding hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, …

Predominance of influenza virus A(H3N2) 3C.2a1b and A(H1N1)pdm09 6B.1A5A genetic subclades in the WHO European Region, 2018–2019

Angeliki Melidou, Olav Hungnes, Dmitriy I. Pereyaslov, Cornelia Adlhoch et autres

BACKGROUND: The 2018/2019 influenza season in the WHO European Region was dominated by influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 and (H3N2) viruses, with very few influenza B viruses detected. METHODS: Countries in the European Region reported virus characterization data to The European Surveillance System for …

HIV-1 Infection in Cyprus, the Eastern Mediterranean European Frontier: A Densely Sampled Transmission Dynamics Analysis from 1986 to 2012

Andrea-Clemencia Pineda-Peña, Kristof Theys, Dora C. Stylianou, Ioannis Demetriades et autres

Since HIV-1 treatment is increasingly considered an effective preventionstrategy, it is important to study local HIV-1 epidemics to formulate tailored preventionpolicies. The prevalence of HIV-1 in Cyprus was historically low until 2005. To investigatethe shift in epidemiological trends, we studied the transmission …

The global spread of HIV-1 subtype B epidemic

Gkikas Magiorkinis, Konstantinos Angelis, Ioannis Mamais, Aris Katzourakis et autres

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was discovered in the early 1980s when the virus had already established a pandemic. For at least three decades the epidemic in the Western World has been dominated by subtype B infections, as part of a …

Transmission of HIV Drug Resistance and the Predicted Effect on Current First-line Regimens in Europe

Laura Marije Hofstra, Nicolas Sauvageot, Jan Albert, Ivailo Alexiev et autres

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown that baseline drug resistance patterns may influence the outcome of antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, guidelines recommend drug resistance testing to guide the choice of initial regimen. In addition to optimizing individual patient management, these baseline resistance data enable …
