Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To analyse Neisseria meningitidis isolates from meningococcal meningitis cases in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) from 1990 to 1993 and 1999-2002, to determine the genetic and relatedness with hypervirulent and epidemic strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: The isolates were analysed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) clustering into 83 electrophoretic types (ET). All isolates from 1999 to 2002, formed a cluster...
