Comparison of serogroup W-135 meningococci isolated in Sweden during a 23-year period and those associated with a recent hajj pilgrimage.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

An outbreak of serogroup W-135 meningococcal disease was reported among pilgrims returning from the annual hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) in mid-March 2000. Molecular characterization was used to investigate the similarity of the hajj-associated W-135 strains with those isolated in Sweden during a 23-year period (1978 to 2000). The same hajj-associated genosubtype, genosubtype P1.5,2,36b, has been documented in...
