Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 3 in Mexico (1994 to 2017): Decrease of the Unusual Clonal Complex 4909 Lineage following PCV13 Introduction
Gabriela Echániz-Aviles,Soraia I. Guerreiro,Soraia I. Guerreiro,Catarina Silva-Costa,Catarina Silva-Costa,Catarina I. Mendes,Catarina I. Mendes,João A. Carriço,João A. Carriço,María Noemí Carnalla-Barajas,Araceli Soto-Noguerón,Maria Elena Velazquez-Meza,José Melo-Cristino,José Melo-Cristino,Antonio Luévanos-Velazquez,Lucía Martínez-Medina,María del Rosario Vazquez-Larios,Mário Ramirez,Mário Ramirez +18 more
TL;DR: Considering the suggestions of a lower efficacy of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine against serotype 3, the different dynamics of the two major serotypes 3 lineages in Mexico following the introduction of PCV13 should be closely monitored.

Rato,Filipe Rocha,Júlio César Rocha,André Moreira-Rosário,Helena Vazão,Yuliya Volovetska,João-Tiago Guimarães,Fausto J. Pinto +35 more
TL;DR: A genetic susceptibility for vitamin D deficiency that might explain higher severity degrees in COVID-19 patients is shown, which reinforces the relevance of personalized strategies in the context of viral diseases.
Journal Article
[The Viriato Study: update of antimicrobial susceptibility data of bacterial pathogens from community-acquired respiratory tract infections in Portugal in 2001 and 2002].
José Melo-Cristino,N. Serrano,Grupo de Estudo Português de Bactérias Patogénicas Respiratórias +2 more
TL;DR: The Viriato study as discussed by the authors is a nationwide, prospective, multicenter surveillance study of the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens commonly associated with community-acquired respiratory tract infections in Portugal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Streptococcus agalactiae Colonizing Nonpregnant Adults Support the Opportunistic Nature of Invasive Infections
E. R. Martins,Dulce Nascimento do Ó,Ana Luísa Marques Costa,José Melo-Cristino,Mário Ramirez +4 more
TL;DR: Asymptomatic colonization of nonpregnant adults is significant and could act as a reservoir for invasive disease, but in contrast to infant disease, no GBS lineages with an enhanced potential for causing invasive disease in adults are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phylogenomic approach for the analysis of colistin resistance associated genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae, its mutational diversity and implications for phenotypic resistance.
Rita Elias,Anton Spadar,Jody Phelan,José Melo-Cristino,Luís Lito,Margarida Pinto,Luisa Gonçalves,Susana Campino,Taane G. Clark,Aida Duarte,João Perdigão +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed the mutational diversity of 22 genes associated with colistin resistance in 140 K Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates integrated in a high-resolution phylogenetic scenario.
