Sánchez-Busó, Leonor; Cole, Michelle J.; Spiteri, Gianfranco; Day, Michaela; Jacobsson, Susanne; Golparian, Daniel; Sajedi, Noshin; Yeats, Corin A.Background: Genomic surveillance using quality-assured whole-genome sequencing (WGS) together with epidemiological and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data is essential to characterise the circulating Neisseria gonorrhoeae lineages and their association to patient groups (defined by demographic and epidemiological factors). In 2013, the European gonococcal population was characterised genomically for the first t...

Day, Michaela J.; Jacobsson, Susanne; Spiteri, Gianfranco; Kulishev, Carina; Sajedi, Noshin; Woodford, Neil; Blumel, Benjamin; van der Werf, Marieke J.Background: The European Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (Euro-GASP) performs annual sentinel surveillance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae susceptibility to therapeutically relevant antimicrobials across the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). We present the Euro-GASP results from 2019 (26 countries), linked to patient epidemiological data, and compared with data from previous years. Method...

Cassini, Alessandro; Högberg, Liselotte Diaz; Plachouras, Diamantis; Quattrocchi, Annalisa; Hoxha, Ana; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Colomb-Cotinat, MélanieBackground: Infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria are threatening modern health care. However, estimating their incidence, complications, and attributable mortality is challenging. We aimed to estimate the burden of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria of public health concern in countries of the EU and European Economic Area (EEA) in 2015, measured in number of cases, attributable death...
COBA-Cohort: a prospective cohort of HIV-negative men who have sex with men, at...
Lorente, Nicolas; Fernàndez-López, Laura; Fuertes, Ricardo; Rojas Castro, Daniela; Pichon, François; Cigan, Bojan; Chanos, Sophocles; Meireles, PaulaIntroduction Community-based voluntary counselling and testing (CBVCT) services for men who have sex with men (MSM) can reach those most-at-risk and provide an environment for gay men that is likely to be non-stigmatising. Longitudinal data on the behaviour of HIV-negative MSM are scarce in Europe. The aim of this protocol, developed during the Euro HIV Early Diagnosis And Treatment (EDAT) project, is to implem...
