Journal ArticleDOI
Typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a university hospital setting by using novel software for spa repeat determination and database management
Dag Harmsen,Heike Claus,Wolfgang Witte,Jörg Rothgänger,Hermann Claus,Doris Turnwald,Ulrich Vogel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used sequence typing of the spa gene repeat region to study the epidemiology of MRSA at a German university hospital during two periods of 10 and 4 months, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Meningococcal Vaccine Candidate GNA1870 Binds the Complement Regulatory Protein Factor H and Enhances Serum Resistance
Guillermo Madico,Jo Anne Welsch,Lisa A. Lewis,Anne McNaughton,David H. Perlman,Catherine E. Costello,Jutamas Ngampasutadol,Ulrich Vogel,Dan M. Granoff,Sanjay Ram +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that inhibiting the binding of a complement down-regulator protein to the neisserial surface by specific Ab may enhance intrinsic bactericidal activity of the Ab is supported, resulting in two distinct mechanisms of Ab-mediated vaccine efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicted strain coverage of a meningococcal multicomponent vaccine (4CMenB) in Europe: a qualitative and quantitative assessment

Caugant,Paula Kriz,Raquel Abad,Stefania Bambini,Anna Carannante,Ala Eddine Deghmane,Cecilia Fazio,Matthias Frosch,Giacomo Frosi,Stefanie Gilchrist,Marzia Monica Giuliani,Eva Hong,Morgan Ledroit,Pietro Giorgio Lovaglio,Jay Lucidarme,Martin Musilek,Alessandro Muzzi,Jan Oksnes,Fabio Rigat,Luca Orlandi,Maria Stella,Danielle Thompson,Mariagrazia Pizza,Rino Rappuoli,Davide Serruto,Maurizio Comanducci,Giuseppe Boccadifuoco,John J. Donnelly,Duccio Medini,Ray Borrow +35 more
TL;DR: MATS analysis showed that a multicomponent vaccine could protect against a substantial proportion of invasive MenB strains isolated in Europe, however, monitoring of antigen expression will be needed in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feavers,Matthias Frosch,Julian Parkhill,Ulrich Vogel,Michael A. Quail,Stephen D. Bentley,Martin C. J. Maiden +18 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive description of all N. meningitidis serogroups is provided, along with a proposed nomenclature, which was presented at the 2012 XVIIIth International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: DNA sequence-based typing of the Staphylococcus aureus protein A gene showed 100% intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility without extensive harmonization of protocols for 30 blind-coded S. aureUS DNA samples sent to 10 laboratories.
