Genetic relationships among strains of Neisseria meningitidis causing disease in Italy, 1984-7.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Feb 1991

Mastrantonio P, Congiu M E, Selander R K, Caugant D A

Abstract excerpt

Since 1984 a change in the epidemiological pattern of meningococcal disease in Italy has occurred with a predominance of Neisseria meningitidis of serogroup C (76%), serotype 2a and a high proportion of strains resistant to sulphonamides (71%). In order to understand better the epidemiology of the group C N. meningitidis strains responsible for the disease over the last years in Italy, we studied the genetic...
