TL;DR: There was little evidence to support an important pathological role for GCLO in disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, although the possibility that it may be a co-factor in the pathogenesis of gastric ulcer cannot be excluded.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the clonal complex, as defined by MLST, is an epidemiologically relevant unit for both long and short-term investigations of C. jejuni epidemiology, and several clonal complexes exhibited associations with isolation source or particular cell-surface components.

TL;DR: This meningococcal conjugate vaccine was well tolerated and immunogenic and induced immunologic memory in infants and produced fewer local reactions than concurrent routine immunizations.

TL;DR: The laboratory confirmation of meningococcal disease and characterization of Neisseria meningitidis isolates was improved considerably in England and Wales by the Meningococcal Reference Unit between epidemiological years 1993/94 and 2003/04 to meet the challenge of increasing numbers of cases of clinical disease and the requirement for enhanced surveillance.

TL;DR: A novel genetically engineered vaccine containing six meningococcal class 1 (PorA) outer membrane proteins representing 80% of prevalent strains in the UK was safe and evoked encouraging immune responses in infants.
