Abstract excerpt
Neisseria meningitidis clonal complex 11 (cc11) is a hyperinvasive lineage associated with global dissemination and outbreaks, including the 'South American/UK' sublineage. In Spain, cc11 serogroup W cases have increased in recent years; however, the evolutionary dynamics of circulating variants remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to assess the clonal diversity, temporal evolution and...
