Use of variable-number tandem repeats to examine genetic diversity of Neisseria meningitidis.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Apr 2005

Yazdankhah Siamak P, Lindstedt Bjørn-Arne, Caugant Dominique A

Abstract excerpt

Repetitive DNA motifs with potential variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) were identified in the genome of Neisseria meningitidis and used to develop a typing method. A total of 146 meningococcal isolates recovered from carriers and patients were studied. These included 82 of the 107 N. meningitidis isolates previously used in the development of multilocus sequence typing (MLST), 45 isolates recovered from...
