Multilocus restriction typing: a tool for Neisseria meningitidis strain discrimination.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Sept 2003

Bennett Désirée E, Cafferkey Mary T

Abstract excerpt

Invasive disease-associated strains of Neisseria meningitidis were analysed by multilocus restriction typing (MLRT), which involves the restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis of PCR products generated from the seven loci of housekeeping genes used in MLST. Several different restriction patterns (alleles) were observed for each of the seven loci examined. Greater allelic variation was observed with the...
