TL;DR: The results indicate that the isolates responsible for SSTI are genetically distinct from those recovered from normally sterile sites, supporting a role for mutations impairing CovRS activity specifically in invasive infection and suggesting that this role relies on a differential regulation of other virulence factors besides SpeB.

TL;DR: The introduction of PCV13 in the national immunization program for children from 2015 onwards may lead to reductions in the proportion of NIPP due to vaccine serotypes but continued NIPP surveillance is essential due to a different serotype distribution from invasive disease.

TL;DR: The overall proportion of piliated isolates declined in the period following PCV7 but quickly recovered to pre-PCV7 levels (50%) and the proportion of isolates carrying both pilus islands remained stable and low.

TL;DR: Group B protective surface protein and 5'-nucleotidase family protein were 2 major immunoreactive proteins that were detected only in the whey of infected cows, suggesting that these proteins may be important in the pathogenesis of S. agalactiae-induced mastitis.

TL;DR: This work quantified immunoglobulin M, IgG and IgA antibodies recognizing the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) or the Spike (S) protein over a period of five months following COVID-19 disease onset or in previously Sars-Cov-2 PCR-positive volunteers, and highlighted a continued level of circulating neutralising antibodies in most people with confirmed SARS, at least up to five months after infection.
