Etiology of Bacterial Meningitis Among Children <5 Years Old in Côte d'Ivoire: Findings of Hospital-based Surveillance Before and After Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Introduction.
Catherine Boni-cisse,Sheikh Jarju,Rowan E Bancroft,Nicaise Aka Lepri,Hamidou Kone,N'zue Kofi,Alice Britoh-Mlan,Flore Sandrine Zaba,Effua Usuf,Peter Sylvanus Ndow,Archibald Worwui,Jason M. Mwenda,Joseph Nsiari-Muzeyi Biey,Bernard Ntsama,Brenda Kwambana-Adams,Martin Antonio,Martin Antonio +16 more
TL;DR: Despite widespread use and high coverage of conjugate vaccines, pneumococcal vaccine serotypes and H. influenzae type b remain associated with bacterial meningitis among children aged <5 years in Côte d’Ivoire, which reinforces the need for enhanced surveillance for vaccine-preventable diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in Mycobacterial Populations and Emerging Drug-Resistance in West and Central Africa
Florian Gehre,Florian Gehre,Mebrat Ejo,K Fissette,Pim de Rijk,Cécile Uwizeye,Elie Nduwamahoro,Odin Goovaerts,Dissou Affolabi,M. Gninafon,Fanny M. Lingoupou,Mamadou Dian Barry,Oumou Sow,Corinne Merle,Piero Olliaro,Fatoumata Ba,Marie Sarr,Alberto Piubello,Juergen Noeske,Martin Antonio,Leen Rigouts,Bouke C. de Jong,Bouke C. de Jong +22 more
TL;DR: It is shown that phylogenetically modern Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains are more likely associated with drug resistance than ancient strains and predicted that the currently ongoing replacement of the endemic ancient by a modern mycobacterial population in West/Central Africa might result in increased drug resistance in the sub-region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Declining Trends of Pneumococcal Meningitis in Gambian Children After the Introduction of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines.
Bakary Sanneh,Catherine Okoi,Mary Grey-Johnson,Haddy Bah-Camara,Baba Kunta Fofana,Ignatius Baldeh,Alhagie Papa Sey,Mahamadou Labbo Bah,Mamadi Cham,Amadou Samateh,Effua Usuf,Peter Sylvanus Ndow,Madikay Senghore,Archibald Worwui,Jason M. Mwenda,Brenda Kwambana-Adams,Martin Antonio,Martin Antonio +17 more
TL;DR: The proportion of meningitis cases due to pneumococcus declined in the post-PCV era, however, the persistence of vaccine-preventable meneditis in children aged <5 years is a major concern and demonstrates the need for sustained high-quality surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The prevalence of tet(S/M) in pneumococci was low and its dissemination was due to an unrecognized outbreak of CC230 in South Africa, and Capsular switching in this MDR sublineage highlighted its potential to continue to cause disease in the post-PCV13 era.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the Molecular Epidemiology of Pediatric Bacterial Meningitis in Senegal After Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Introduction.
Mouhamadou A. Sonko,Felix S Dube,Felix S Dube,Catherine Okoi,Amadou Gallo Diop,A. Thiongane,Madikay Senghore,Peter Sylvanus Ndow,Archibal Worwui,Papa Moctar Faye,Baidy Dieye,Idrissa Demba Ba,Aliou Diallo,Diop Boly,Ousmane Ndiaye,M. Cisse,Jason M. Mwenda,Brenda Kwambana-Adams,Martin Antonio,Martin Antonio +19 more
TL;DR: There has been a decline in pneumococcal meningitis post–pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction in Senegal, however, disease caused by pathogens covered by vaccines in widespread use still persists.
