Soge,Catherine Dominguez,Ami Patel,Jillian Loomis,John Leavitt,Jenny Zhang,Tamara Baldwin,Chun Wang,Christina Moore,Christian Whelen,Pamela S. O’Brien,Alesia Harvey +28 more
TL;DR: Understanding the role of recombination, particularly within the mtr locus, on the fitness and expansion of strains with decreased susceptibility has important implications for the public health response to minimise gonorrhoea transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic evaluation of whole genome sequencing for pathogen identification and surveillance - results of case studies in Europe and the Americas 2016 to 2019

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated costs and benefits of routine whole genome sequencing (WGS) through case studies at eight reference laboratories in Europe and the Americas which conduct pathogen surveillance for avian influenza (two laboratories), human influenza (one laboratory) and food-borne pathogens (five laboratories).
Journal ArticleDOI
Linked Clusters of SARS-CoV-2 Variant B.1.351 - Maryland, January-February 2021.
Kenneth A. Feder,Marcia Pearlowitz,Alexandra Goode,Monique Duwell,Thelonious W. Williams,Ping An Chen-Carrington,Ami Patel,Catherine Dominguez,Eric N. Keller,Liore Klein,Alessandra Rivera-Colon,Heba H. Mostafa,C. Paul Morris,Neil Patel,Anna M. Schauer,Robert Myers,David Blythe,Katherine A. Feldman +17 more
TL;DR: The first identified linked clusters of B.1.351 infections in the United States with no apparent link to international travel highlight the importance of expanding the scope and volume of genetic surveillance programs to identify variants, completing contact investigations for SARS-CoV-2 infections, and using universal prevention strategies, including vaccination, masking, and physical distancing as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of E484K spike protein mutation with SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated persons---Maryland, January - May 2021.
Kenneth A. Feder,Ami Patel,Venkata R. Vepachedu,Catherine Dominguez,Eric N. Keller,Liore Klein,Curi Kim,Tim Blood,Judie Hyun,Thelonious W. Williams,Katherine A. Feldman,Heba H. Mostafa,C. Paul Morris,Jacques Ravel,Monique Duwell,David Blythe,Robert W. Myers +16 more
TL;DR: Among 9,048 people infected with SARS-CoV-2 between January-May- 2021 in Maryland, in regression-adjusted analysis, the spike protein mutation E484K was disproportionately prevalent among persons infected after full vaccination against COVID-19 as compared to infected persons who were not fully vaccinated as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Murphy,Maureen Tierney,Natashia Reese,Amelia Bhatnagar,Alex Kallen,Allison C Brown,Maroya Spalding Walters +31 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a 10-state evaluation to assess the contribution of less common genera (LCG) to carbapenemase-producing (CP) CRE.
