Abstract excerpt

We analysed a strain collection representative of the overall Neisseria meningitidis population circulating in an open community (46,000 inhabitants, Spain) during an endemic period (30 isolates from patients and 191 from throat cultures of healthy individuals) by both phenotypic and molecular techniques. Almost all patient isolates were assigned to three hyper-virulent lineages (ET-5 complex, ET-37 complex and...
