TL;DR: Compared the genomes of 253 Maf clinical isolates from Ghana, it is found that the genomic diversity of L6 was higher than in L5 despite the smaller sample size, possibly reflecting different selection pressures linked to distinct ecological niches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competition Between Streptococcus Pneumoniae Strains: Implications for Vaccine-Induced Replacement in Colonization and Disease
TL;DR: The main mechanism of between-serotype interaction was identified as competition in acquisition, which suggests that replacement in pneumococcal disease depends largely on propensities of the replacing serotypes to cause disease through acquisition of colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Region-specific diversification of the highly virulent serotype 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae.

TL;DR: The accessory gene content that has contributed to a rare clonal replacement event of ST3081 with ST618 as the dominant cause of IPD in the Gambia is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
The first phylogeographic population structure and analysis of transmission dynamics of M. africanum West African 1--combining molecular data from Benin, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Florian Gehre,Florian Gehre,Martin Antonio,Frank Faïhun,Mathieu Odoun,Cécile Uwizeye,Pim de Rijk,Bouke C. de Jong,Bouke C. de Jong,Bouke C. de Jong,Dissou Affolabi +10 more
TL;DR: Benin is identified as one of the countries with the highest overall prevalence of M. africanum and this study contains the first detailed description of the transmission dynamics and phylogenetic composition of the MAF1 lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed infection with cagA positive and cagA negative strains of Helicobacter pylori lowers disease burden in the Gambia
Ousman Secka,Martin Antonio,Douglas E. Berg,Mary Tapgun,Christian Bottomley,Vivat Thomas,Robert Walton,Tumani Corrah,Julian Thomas,Richard A. Adegbola +9 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of H. pylori is high in dyspeptic patients in The Gambia and that many strains are of the putatively more virulent cagA+, vacAs1 and vacAm1 genotypes, which suggests that harbouring both cag-positive and cags-negative strains is protective.
