Spontaneous Emergence of Azithromycin Resistance in Independent Lineages of Salmonella Typhi in Northern India

Megan E. Carey, Ruby Jain, Mohammad Yousuf, Mailis Maes, Zoe A. Dyson, Trang Nguyen Hoang Thu, To Nguyen Thi Nguyen, Thanh Ho Ngoc Dan, Quynh Nhu Pham Nguyen, Jaspreet Mahindroo, Duy Thanh Pham, Kawaljeet Singh Sandha, Stephen Baker, Neelam Taneja

Summary: The study in Northern India identified 66 S. Typhi organisms with antimicrobial resistance, including 7 strains with R717Q mutation in the acrB gene conferring resistance to azithromycin and 6 strains with triple mutations in gyrA and parC genes leading to ciprofloxacin resistance. This findings suggest an urgent need for typhoid conjugate vaccines introduction in South Asia as an emerging broader problem of antimicrobial resistance.

Emergence and Characterization of a Ceftriaxone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae FC428 Clone Evolving Moderate-Level Resistance to Azithromycin in Shenzhen, China

Lulu Zhang, Chi Zhang, Yaling Zeng, Yamei Li, Shuhong Huang, Feng Wang, Junping Peng

Summary: This study identified a ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae FC428 clone with moderate-level azithromycin resistance in Shenzhen, China in 2020. The isolate YL201 showed specific NG-STAR and MLST types and clustered with other FC428 clones from different regions in China. Genomic analysis indicated that the FC428 clones have undergone further transmission and may lead to increased severity of gonococcal resistance.

The Potential Role of Vaccines in Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): An Update and Future Perspectives

Vincenzo Costanzo, Giovanni N. Roviello

Summary: The misuse of antibiotics has led to an increase in antimicrobial resistance, which is now considered a global emergency. Therefore, new strategies to fight antimicrobial resistance are urgently needed. Vaccines are seen as a crucial approach in preventing the spread of pathogens and reducing the usage of antibiotics, but vaccines against resistant pathogens are still under clinical evaluation.

Associations between antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in European Union/European Economic Area and patients' gender, sexual orientation and anatomical site of infection, 2009-2016

Susanne Jacobsson, Michelle J. Cole, Gianfranco Spiteri, Michaela Day, Magnus Unemo

Summary: The study investigated 15,803 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from 27 European countries between 2009 and 2016, finding that sexual orientation was the main variable associated with gonococcal antimicrobial resistance. Resistance to cefixime and ciprofloxacin, as well as resistance combined with decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone, were positively associated with urogenital infections and heterosexual males, while azithromycin resistance was positively associated with heterosexual males. No significant associations were found regarding anatomical site of infection.

Phylogenomic Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Indiana ST17, an Emerging Multidrug-Resistant Clone in China

Zengfeng Zhang, Jiang Chang, Xuebin Xu, Mengjun Hu, Shoukui He, Xiaojie Qin, Min Zhou, Chunlei Shi, Xianming Shi

Summary: Salmonella enterica serovar Indiana has become increasingly prevalent in China as a foodborne pathogen. This study investigated the national prevalence and genetic characterization of this pathogen. The study found that the ST17 clone of S. Indiana is widely distributed in China, and is highly resistant to multiple antibiotics. The genetic analysis revealed the close relationship between ST17 isolates in China and those from other countries. These findings highlight the importance of surveillance and control measures against the high-resistant ST17 clone.

Complications and mortality of non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease: a global systematic review and meta-analysis

Christian S. Marchello, Megan Birkhold, John A. Crump

Summary: Complications are frequent in non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease, and the mortality rate is approximately 15%. Clinicians, particularly in African countries, should be aware of non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease as a cause of severe febrile illness. Prompt diagnoses and management decisions, including empiric antimicrobial therapy, would improve patient outcomes. Additionally, investments in improving clinical microbiology facilities to identify non-typhoidal salmonella, as well as research efforts towards vaccine development and non-vaccine prevention measures, would prevent illness and death associated with non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease.

Summary: Livestock abortion is a significant factor contributing to productivity losses globally, and many of the infectious causes of abortion are zoonotic pathogens that affect human health. This study conducted in Tanzania investigated the causes of livestock abortion and identified several important findings, including the outbreak of Rift Valley fever virus in cattle and the presence of various infections associated with livestock abortion. These findings not only provide a model for abortion surveillance in resource-limited settings, but also contribute to the current knowledge in sub-Saharan Africa and help prioritize disease interventions.

Summary: Nontyphoidal Salmonella are a major cause of community-onset bacteremia and other serious infections in sub-Saharan Africa, but they are not a common cause of moderate-to-severe diarrhea. Lineages of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium sequence type (ST) 313 and lineages of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ST11 are the main sources of invasive disease. The case-fatality ratio is around 15%. Antimicrobial resistance is increasing and vaccines are in development.

Evaluation of Ebola virus disease surveillance system capability to promptly detect a new outbreak in Liberia

Fulton Quincy Shannon II, Luke L. Bawo, John A. Crump, Katrina Sharples, Richard Egan, Philip C. Hill

Summary: The current EVD surveillance system in Liberia shows some deficiencies in its structure, core functions, support functions, and quality indicators at various levels. There are gaps in performance in case detection, reporting, and managing patients with EVD. Limited resources, stock out of sample collection materials, and staff attrition pose major challenges to the system's operations. Specific improvements and regular evaluations are needed, and standardized patient studies are crucial for evaluating surveillance systems for rarely occurring diseases that require early detection.
