·    ECDC/EMEA JOINT TECHNICAL REPORT: The bacterial challenge: time to react
http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/Publications/0909_TER_The_Bacterial_Challenge_Time_to_React.pdf

There is a gap between the burden of infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria and the development of new antibiotics to tackle the problem. This report gives an account of facts and figures that would allow reasonable predictions of the extent of this gap in the coming years and calls for a European and global strategy to address the problem urgently.
One of the conclusions of the report is that there is a particular lack of new antibiotics with new targets or mechanisms of action against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Only two such agents with new or possibly new targets and documented activity were identified, both in early phases of development.

·    TECHNICAL REPORT: Mapping of HIV/STI behavioural surveillance in Europe
http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/Publications/0909_TER_Mapping_of_HIV_STI_Behavioural_Surveillance_in_Europe.pdf

This report is an in-depth analysis of the current situation regarding behavioural surveillance programmes related to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) in EU and EFTA countries. Surveillance is examined in the following populations: general population, youth, injecting drug users (IDU), men who have sex with men (MSM), people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), sex workers, STI clinic clients, migrant and ethnic minorities.

Resulting from the overall analysis, core indicators, common to all populations, are proposed. These relate to the number of sexual partners, use of a condom at last intercourse, having had an HIV test, having paid for sex, and HIV knowledge.

In April 2009, ECDC organised an expert consultation on West Nile Virus (WNV) infection. The main objectives of the meeting were to provide an overview of the current situation regarding WNV and to address gaps in the current knowledge. Further objectives included identifying the role of the ECDC in order to strengthen preparedness and response at the European level. The meeting brought together a multidisciplinary group of experts from Europe and around the world and this report summarises the presentations and discussions held over the course of the two day consultation.
