30 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background: In Australia, invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) incidence rapidly increased between 2014 and 2017 due to rising serogroup W (MenW) and MenY infections. We aimed to better understand the genetic diversity of IMD during 2017 and 2018 using whole genome sequencing data. Methods: Whole genome sequencing data from 440 Australian IMD isolates collected during 2017 and 2018 and 1737 international...
