Emergence of ST131 carrying carbapenemase genes, European Union/European Econom...
Kohlenberg, Anke; Svartström, Olov; Apfalter, Petra; Hartl, Rainer; Bogaerts, Pierre; Huang, Te-Din; Chudejova, Katerina; Malisova, LuciaAnalysis of 594 isolates of sequence type (ST)131 and its single locus variants carrying carbapenemase genes from 17 European Union/European Economic Area countries revealed acquisition of 18 carbapenemase variants, mainly in ST131 clades A and C. Most frequent were (n = 230) and (n = 224), detected in 14 and 12 countries, respectively. Isolates carrying have increased rapidly since 2021. The increasing detecti...
Rapid cross-border emergence of NDM-5-producing Escherichia coli in the Europea...
Linkevicius, Marius; Bonnin, Rémy A.; Alm, Erik; Svartström, Olov; Apfalter, Petra; Hartl, Rainer; Hasman, Henrik; Roer, Louise; Räisänen, KatiWhole genome sequencing data of 874 Escherichia coli isolates carrying bla NDM-5 from 13 European Union/European Economic Area countries between 2012 and June 2022 showed the predominance of sequence types ST167, ST405, ST410, ST361 and ST648, and an increasing frequency of detection. Nearly a third (30.6%) of these isolates were associated with infections and more than half (58.2%) were predicted to be multidr...
Geographical and temporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades in the WHO European...
Alm, Erik; Broberg, Eeva K; Connor, Thomas; Hodcroft, Emma B; Komissarov, Andrey B; Maurer-Stroh, Sebastian; Melidou, Angeliki; Neher, Richard AWe show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three genomic nomenclature systems to all sequence data from the World Health Organization European Region available until 10 July 2020. We highlight the importance of real-time sequencing and data dissemination ...
