Full Molecular Typing of Neisseria meningitidis Directly from Clinical Specimens for Outbreak Investigation
16 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis worldwide and an occasional cause of meningococcal urethritis. When isolates are unavailable for surveillance or outbreak investigations, molecular characterization of pathogens needs to be performed directly from clinical specimens, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, or urine. However, genome sequencing of specimens is...
