TL;DR: MRSA was likely spread predominantly during practice play, with skin breaks facilitating infection, and appropriate whirlpool disinfection methods should be promoted among athletic trainers.

TL;DR: Antibiotic-nonsusceptible IPD rates remain below pre-PCV7 rates for children <5 and adults ≥65 years old, and PCV13 vaccines hold promise for further nonsusceptibility reductions.

TL;DR: The high prevalence in the affected toddler class and the matching PFGE pattern are consistent with child-to-child transmission within the child care center, and DNA sequence analysis suggests that there may be considerable variability within the species KKingae and that different K kingae strains may demonstrate varying degrees of pathogenicity.

TL;DR: In this paper, three cases of meningococcal disease caused by ciprofloxacin-resistant Neisseria meningitidis, one in North Dakota and two in Minnesota, were reported.

TL;DR: WGS-based antimicrobial phenotype prediction was an informative alternative to BDT for invasive pneumococci and correctly predicted penicillin-binding protein types and common resistance determinants.
