    Abstract Aim: To investigate the epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in Slovakian hospitals after the emergence of ribotype 176 (027-like) in 2016.
    Methods: Between 2018 and 2019, European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention CDI surveillance protocol v2.3 was applied to 14 hospitals, with additional data collected on recent antimicrobial use and the characterization of C. difficile isolates.
    Results: The mean hospital incidence of CDI was 4.1 cases per 10,000 patient bed-days. One hundred and five (27.6%) in-hospital deaths were reported among the 381 cases. Antimicrobial treatment within the previous 4 weeks was recorded in 90.5% (333/368) of cases. Ribotype (RT)176 was detected in 50% (n=185/370, 14 hospitals) and RT001 was detected in 34.6% (n=128/370,13/14 hospitals) of cases with RT data. Overall, 86% (n=318/370) of isolates were resistant to moxifloxacin by Thr82Ile in GyrA (99.7%). Multi-locus variable tandem repeat analysis showed clonal relatedness of predominant RTs within and between hospitals. Seven of 14 sequenced RT176 isolates and five of 13 RT001 isolates showed between zero and three allelic differences by whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing. The majority of sequenced isolates (24/27) carried the erm(B) gene and 16/27 also carried the aac(6')-aph(2'') gene with the corresponding antimicrobial susceptibility phenotypes. Nine RT176 strains carried the cfr(E)gene and one RT001 strain carried the cfr(C) gene, but without linezolid resistance.
    Conclusions: The newly-predominant RT176 and endemic RT001 are driving the epidemiology of CDI in Slovakia. In addition to fluoroquinolones, the use of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B antibiotics can represent another driving force for the spread of these epidemic lineages. In C. difficile, linezolid resistance should be confirmed phenotypically in strains with detected cfr gene(s).

    Abstract The cumulative incidence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases is showing similar trends in European Union/European Economic Area countries and the United Kingdom confirming that, while at a different stage depending on the country, the COVID-19 pandemic is progressing rapidly in all countries. Based on the experience from Italy, countries, hospitals and intensive care units should increase their preparedness for a surge of patients with COVID-19 who will require healthcare, and in particular intensive care.

    Abstract Europe is in the midst of a COVID-19 epidemic and a number of non-pharmaceutical public health and social measures have been implemented, in order to contain the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. These measures are fundamental elements of the public health approach to controlling transmission but have proven not to be sufficiently effective. Therefore, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has conducted an assessment of research gaps that can help inform policy decisions regarding the COVID-19 response. We have identified research gaps in the area of non-pharmaceutical measures, physical distancing, contact tracing, transmission, communication, mental health, seasonality and environment/climate, surveillance and behavioural aspects of COVID-19. This prioritisation exercise is a step towards the global efforts of developing a coherent research road map in coping with the current epidemic but also developing preparedness measures for the next unexpected epidemic.
