Abstract excerpt
We developed a new Neisseria meningitidis multiplex PCR to determine six serogroups, including X-specific primers, and to allow direct W135/Y discrimination. This assay offers a simple and low-cost method for serogrouping N. meningitidis from cerebrospinal fluid that could be useful in Africa.
