Abstract excerpt

To characterize Neisseria meningitidis isolates collected from cerebrospinal fluid of meningitis cases in Egypt (1998-2003) as part of surveillance studies, 67 isolates were serogrouped, tested for antibiotic sensitivity and analyzed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results show that isolates expressing serogroup B (50.7%) and serogroup A (34.3%) antigens were predominant in Egypt during the surveillance...
