A local outbreak caused by Neisseria meningitidis occurred in the migration camp in the Greek island of Lesbos during January-February 2020 (4 of 5 cases). In total, 5 samples positive for N. meningitidis were further investigated for sero-/genogroup, PorA, and WGS analysis. MenB was found among 3 cases, while in two cases, MenY was identified. WGS analysis and antibiotic susceptibility testing on the 2 culture positive MenB samples showed the new ST-3129, ciprofloxacin-resistant clone was circulating among the immigrants in the aforementioned camp. This is the first report of ciprofloxacin resistance in Greece.
2020 年 1 月至 2 月期间,希腊莱斯博斯岛移民营中爆发了由脑膜炎奈瑟菌引起的局部疫情(5 例病例中的 4 例)。共对 5 份脑膜炎奈瑟菌阳性样本进行了进一步的血清/基因群、PorA 和 WGS 分析。在 3 例中发现了 MenB,而在 2 例中鉴定出了 MenY。对 2 份培养阳性的 MenB 样本进行的 WGS 分析和抗生素药敏试验表明,上述营地的移民中存在新型 ST-3129、环丙沙星耐药克隆。这是希腊首例环丙沙星耐药的报告。
