TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate substantial evasion of neutralization by Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants in vitro using sera from individuals vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273.529.

TL;DR: In this paper, a whole-genome sequenced 3233 invasive pneumococcal disease isolates from laboratory-based surveillance programs in Hong Kong (n=78), Israel, South Africa, Malawi, Nigeria, The Gambia, and USA were collected from children younger than 3 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the genomic epidemiology using a dataset of 8746 genomes from 33 African countries and two overseas territories and show that the epidemics in most countries were initiated by importations predominantly from Europe, which diminished following the early introduction of international travel restrictions.

TL;DR: The occurrence of a pneumococcal serotype 1 meningitis outbreak three years after the introduction of PCV13 is alarming and calls for strengthening ofMeningitis surveillance and a re-evaluation of the current vaccination programme in high risk countries.

TL;DR: A dramatic absence of microbial diversity and pathogen domination of the gut microbiota in a high proportion of critically ill patients using shotgun metagenomics is documented.
