[meningococcal disease in spain, 1990-1997. change in its epidemiological pattern].in spain, the presentation of meningococcal disease in the 1980s was closely linked to the predominance of n. meningitidis serogroup b. this situation changed at the beginning of the 1990s, observing a growing trend of serogroup c strains in the isolation procedures carried out in some areas of the country, together with an increase in the incidence of the disease starting in the 1995-1996 season. the purpose of this study is to characterise the epidemiological pattern of meningococcal disease i ...200011031848
epidemiological pattern of meningococcal disease in valencia, spain. impact of a mass immunization campaign with meningococcal c polysaccharide vaccine.the objective of this study was to define the epidemiological pattern of meningococcal disease in the autonomous region of valencia, spain, and the impact of a mass immunization campaign against serogroup c meningococcus. data were obtained from a prospective surveillance program for invasive bacterial diseases in children < 15 y of age that began in the valencia region on 1 december, 1995. during the period 1996-98, 213 cases of meningococcal disease were detected, representing an annual incide ...200111525350
[evolution of meningococcal infection among infant population in the autonomous community of valencia (1996-2000). effectiveness of a+c meningococcal vaccination].the increase in meningococcal disease caused by serogroup c in the autonomous community of valencia during the 1996-1997 period gave rise to an a + c meningococcal vaccination campaign having been conducted targeting the population ranging from 18 months to 19 years of age. the purpose of this study is that of analyzing the impact of this campaign regarding the epidemiology, clinical aspects and evolution of meningococcal disease and the vaccination status of the youth population for the purpose ...200312696392
[antimicrobial sensitivity of 402 strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in 7 spanish cities].to study n. gonorrhoeae resistance in spain. we evaluate 402 strains consecutively isolated in 7 spanish cities (barcelona, bilbao, madrid, murcia, seville, valencia and valladolid). the mic to 9 antimicrobial agents was determined by agar-dilution (dst) method. we found a high incidence (15.7%) of penicillinase producer strains (ngpp). most (53.3%) of all non-ngpp strains showed reduced sensitivity to penicillin and 1.5% of the strains had chromosomally mediated resistance. all ngpp strains and ...19911822152

use of genomic fingerprinting in the characterization of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in valencia, spain.ninety-five neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms isolated in valencia, spain, were characterized by antibiotic sensitivity testing, auxotyping, serotyping, plasmid analysis and restriction endonuclease fingerprinting (hindiii digestion). cluster analysis of the restriction patterns revealed that 31 isolates (32.6%) formed 12 clearly defined clusters. penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae strains formed four of these groups. eight groups of gonococcal strains were identified by auxotyping, alt ...19921468419
