Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Meningococcal carriage studies are important to improve our understanding of the epidemiology of meningococcal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of meningococcal carriage and the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of isolates collected from a sample of students in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1459 oropharyngeal samples were...
