Abstract excerpt

Detection of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT; ggt ) activity is one of the useful methods for a specific identification of Neisseria meningitidis. However, we previously happened to isolate a ggt -deficient N. meningitidis strain (NIID113) from a healthy carrier. In this study, in order to re-...
