In an attempt to determine the epidemiological relationship between cases of infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A in France between August 1987 and December 1988, and an outbreak which occurred in Mecca in August 1987, markers such as serotype, serosubtype, multilocus enzyme genotype and outer membrane protein (OMP) pattern were used to characterize the bacterial isolates. From a total of 28...
