Abstract excerpt

Analysis of 182 Neisseria meningitidis strains isolated over the past 30 years in Japan by serogroup typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed. The serogroups of the 182 Japanese isolates were B (103 isolates), Y (39), W135 (1) and non-groupable (39). By MLST analysis, 65 different sequence types (ST) were identified, 42 of which were not found in the MLST database as of January 2004 and seemed...
