Three Cases of Invasive Meningococcal Disease Caused by a Capsule Null Locus Strain Circulating among Healthy Carriers in Burkina Faso

3 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

During reinforced surveillance of acute bacterial meningitis in Burkina Faso, meningococcal strains of phenotype NG:NT:NST were isolated from cerebrospinal fluid samples from 3 patients. The strains were negative for the ctrA gene but were positive for the crgA gene. Molecular typing revealed that the strains harbored the capsule null locus (cnl) and belonged to the multilocus sequence type (ST)-192. PorA...
