Abstract excerpt

Genosubtyping, by sequencing variable regions (VRs) 1, 2 and 3 of the porA gene, was evaluated as a tool to detect clonality of isolates in meningococcal epidemics in Africa and clusters of disease in Sweden. All 63 examined meningococcal isolates were successfully genosubtyped. The isolates belonging to group A type 4 with genosubtype P1.20,9,35a showed little heterogeneity in African epidemics in 1988 and...
