Europe-wide expansion and eradication of multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrho...
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...
Predominance of influenza virus A(H3N2) 3C.2a1b and A(H1N1)pdm09 6B.1A5A geneti...
Melidou, Angeliki; Hungnes, Olav; Pereyaslov, Dmitriy; Adlhoch, Cornelia; Segaloff, Hannah; Robesyn, Emmanuel; Penttinen, Pasi; Olsen, Sonja J.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 weeks 40/2018 to 20/2019. These virus antigenic and genetic characterization and haemagglutinin (HA) sequence data were ...
