Dynamics of the penA gene in serogroup C meningococcal strains.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 15 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The transpeptidase encoding region of the penA gene was sequenced in 44 meningococcal strains (41 serogroup C [23 characterized as serotype 2b and 18 as serotype 2a] and 3 serogroup B [B:2b:P1.2,5]). All strains were characterized by multilocus sequence typing and were determined to be susceptible or intermediate resistant to penicillin (Pen(s) or Pen(i), respectively). A high degree of homology was found among...
