[🚨Data release🚨] The #GPS_project database Monocle is now having 40k pneumococcal genomes and detailed metadata !

Thanks @HarryHung at @sangerinstitute and Simran Utreja at CDC to put them together!

GPS Pipeline: portable, scalable genomic pipeline for Streptococcus pneumoniae surveillance from Global Pneumococcal Sequencing Project - Nature Communications The GPS Pipeline enables accessible and scalable genomic surveillance of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It performs quality control and in silico typing of sequencing reads with high accuracy using a single simple command, without requiring the internet.

🦠🧪🧬 Excited to share that our GPS Pipeline, the portable and scalable genomic pipeline for Streptococcus pneumoniae surveillance, is now published in @natcomms.nature.com

Some pneumococcal lineages are more resistance to beta-lactams - coincides with our observations in the #GPS_project

Genomic analysis of the Streptococcus pneumoniae in Taiwan: a nationwide study from 2006 to 2022 Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a leading respiratory pathogen for children and the elderly. In Taiwan, a national PCV13 catch-up vaccination programme for children began in March 2013. This study in...

[🚨 New paper] The first nationwide, longitudinal WGS analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Taiwan (2006–2022).

1,343 isolates from 27 hospitals, we track serotype, AMR, and genomic lineage before and after PCV13.

This tiny mutation—found not only mouse colonization models but also clinical isolates from the #GPS_project — enhance S. pneumoniae colonization reducing mucus trapping.

It’s my great pleasure to present the Global Pneumoocccal Sequencing project at #LISSSD25

I feel humbled to learn more about Group A and Group B streptococci and other species, and meet great minds to discuss science.

Good morning Brisbane! What a nice view to prepare my very first talk at #LISSSD25 !

Looking forward to meeting people at the conference.

Genomic characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates obtained from carriage and disease among paediatric patients in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Background and aims. Despite the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs), Streptococcus pneumoniae still remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among children...

As part of the #GPS_project, @Abel_AberaN
led us to understand the circulating #pneumococcal lineages (carriage and disease)!in Ethiopia after #PCV10
