To date there have been relatively few studies on genetic determinants of susceptibility to neonatal infection and many of these have methodological...
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) M protein is an important virulence factor and potential vaccine antigen, and constitutes the basis for strain typing (emm-typing).
Vaccine prevention of GAS infections and their immunological complications has been a goal of researchers for decades.
Bacillus cereus can cause serious infections in immunosuppressed patients. This population may be susceptible to B. cereus pneumonia, bacteremia, cellulitis,...
No currently licensed and available vaccine has been shown to provide broad protection against endemic MnB disease.
The desire for an effective vaccine arises from the large burden of disease caused by the bacterium, particularly rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
We hypothesised that scheduling an additional (third) dose of oral human rotavirus vaccine for children aged 6 to <12 months would improve protection
We review the role of pneumococcal carriage studies for the evaluation of PCVs in LMICs and discuss optimal methods for conducting these studies
Significant variation in practice, particularly for patients with a severe disease phenotype and antibiotic-resistant profile
Pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence and density were higher in infants delivered vaginally compared with those delivered by cesarean birth
