Molecular surveillance of Neisseria meningitidis capsular switching in Portugal, 2002-2006.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Feb 2009

Simões M J, Cunha M, Almeida F, Furtado C, Brum L

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis capsular switching has been reported in several countries. In order to establish the genetic relationship within group B and C strains expressing subtypes 2a or 2b, and to evaluate whether C to B capsular switching occurred in Portugal, 64 meningococci (56 serogroup C and 8 serogroup B) isolated from invasive meningococcal disease were typed using molecular methods. The studied phenotypes,...
