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 ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The WGS-based assignment of iGBS resistance features and serotypes is an accurate substitute for phenotypic testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meningococcal Carriage Following a Vaccination Campaign With MenB-4C and MenB-FHbp in Response to a University Serogroup B Meningococcal Disease Outbreak-Oregon, 2015-2016.
Lucy A McNamara,Jennifer Dolan Thomas,Jessica R. MacNeil,How Yi Chang,Michael Day,Emily Fisher,Stacey W. Martin,Tasha Poissant,Susanna Schmink,Evelene Steward-Clark,Laurel T. Jenkins,Xin Wang,Anna M. Acosta +12 more
TL;DR: While few participants completed the full MenB vaccination series, limiting analytic power, these data suggest that MenB-FHbp and menB-4C do not have a large, rapid impact on meningococcal carriage and are unlikely to provide herd protection in the context of an outbreak response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Risk of Acute Hepatitis B among Adults with Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus
Meredith Reilly,Sarah Schillie,Emily Smith,Tasha Poissant,Candace Vonderwahl,Kristin Gerard,Jennifer Baumgartner,Lynne Mercedes,Kristin Sweet,Daniel Muleta,Daniel J. Zaccaro,R. Monina Klevens,Trudy V. Murphy +12 more
TL;DR: Diabetes was independently associated with an increased risk for acute hepatitis B among adults without HBV risk behaviors and with reported diabetes status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-based surveillance for hepatitis C virus, United States, 2006-2007.
R. Monina Klevens,Jeremy T. Miller,Candace Vonderwahl,Suzanne Speers,Karen Alelis,Kristin Sweet,Elena Rocchio,Tasha Poissant,Tara M. Vogt,Kathleen Gallagher +9 more
TL;DR: Local surveillance data can document the effects of disease, support linkage to care, and help prevent secondary transmission as well as identify newly reported cases.
