Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To determine the genotypes of serogroup Y meningococcus (MenY), and to determine the prevalence of and identify factors associated with MenY lpxL1 variants. METHODS: Isolates, collected from 2003 to 2007 through national surveillance for invasive meningococcal disease, were characterized by multilocus sequence typing and screened for interleukin-6 induction. LpxL1 genes were sequenced from low IL-6...
