TL;DR: An increase in the overall rate of early-onset GBS disease from 2003 to 2006 was revealed, driven by an increasing incidence among black term infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: WGS-based antimicrobial phenotype prediction was an informative alternative to BDT for invasive pneumococci and correctly predicted penicillin-binding protein types and common resistance determinants.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Preliminary results from an analysis in EIP comparing GBS patients hospitalized through March 31, 2010, who did and did not receive 2009 H1N1 vaccination showed an estimated age-adjusted rate ratio of 1.77, similar to that found in seasonal influenza vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The WGS-based assignment of iGBS resistance features and serotypes is an accurate substitute for phenotypic testing.
Journal Article

TL;DR: This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which found that the percentage of IPD nonmeningitis S. pneumoniae isolates categorized as susceptible, intermediate, and resistant to penicillin changed from 74.7%, 15.0%, and 10.3% under the former breakpoints to 93.2, 5.6, and 1.2%, respectively, under the new breakpoints.
