Genomic characterization of invasive Neisseria meningitidis in Spain (2011/12–2022/23): expansion of clonal complex 213 and the potential threat to 4CMenB vaccine strain coverage

Abstract excerpt

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is associated with significant global morbidity and mortality and is addressed by conjugated polysaccharide and subcapsular vaccines. In Spain, data on 4CMenB vaccine strain coverage and antimicrobial susceptibility are limited. This study aimed to describe the genomic epidemiology, predict 4CMenB vaccine strain coverage, and assess antimicrobial susceptibility of 323...
