Genomic analysis of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W causing invasive meningococcal disease in four travellers from Saudi Arabia, Italy, 2025.
Genomic analysis was performed on Neisseria meningitidis isolates from four cases of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) identified in Italy after travel to Saudi Arabia in 2025. The cases were not epidemiologically related. The isolates from the cases were whole genome sequenced and belonged to serogroup W, sequence type (ST)-11, clonal complex (CC)11 and were susceptible to ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, penicillin G and rifampicin. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the four genomes with the Hajj strain sublineage.
期刊介绍:
Eurosurveillance is a European peer-reviewed journal focusing on the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention, and control of communicable diseases relevant to Europe.It is a weekly online journal, with 50 issues per year published on Thursdays. The journal includes short rapid communications, in-depth research articles, surveillance reports, reviews, and perspective papers. It excels in timely publication of authoritative papers on ongoing outbreaks or other public health events. Under special circumstances when current events need to be urgently communicated to readers for rapid public health action, e-alerts can be released outside of the regular publishing schedule. Additionally, topical compilations and special issues may be provided in PDF format.
