Fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism genotyping of Neisseria meningitidis identifies clones associated with invasive disease.

Abstract excerpt

Fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP), a genotyping technique with phylogenetic significance, was applied to 123 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis. Nine of these were from an outbreak in a British university; 9 were from a recent outbreak in Pontypridd, Glamorgan; 15 were from sporadic cases of meningococcal disease; 26 were from the National Collection of Type Cultures; 58 were carrier...
