Genomic fingerprints and phenotypic characteristics of strains of Neisseria meningitidis causing disease in Italy.

Microbiologica - 1 Apr 1990

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 sulfonamides (71%). To better understand the epidemiology of the group C N. meningitidis strains responsible for the disease over the last five years in Italy, we studied the DNA...
