Antimeningococcal herd immunity in the Czech Republic--influence of an emerging clone, Neisseria meningitidis ET-15/37.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

For many years, invasive meningococcal disease in the Czech Republic occurred sporadically and was caused mainly by meningococci of serogroup B. In 1993, when a new clone (ET-15/37) emerged, the only phenotype found was C:2a:P1.2,5. In 1995, an antigenic variation of the ET-15/37 clone, B:2a:P1.2,5, occurred. The results of immunological surveys conducted in 1989 and 1996 were compared. A significantly higher...
