Abstract excerpt
Five National Collection of Type Culture (NCTC) strains and 14 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis, representing 13 outbreak isolates from within the UK, were examined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for seven house-keeping genes. The results were compared with those of fluorescent amplified fragment-length polymorphism (FAFLP) analysis. Phylogenetic inferences were made from 3284-nucleotide lengths of...
