Further evidence for the non-clonal population structure of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: extensive genetic diversity within isolates of the same electrophoretic type.

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of data from multilocus enzyme electrophoresis has revealed that Neisseria gonorrhoeae populations are non-clonal. Fifteen percent of 227 isolates of N. gonorrhoeae had an identical multilocus genotype (ET1) and were recovered world-wide over a 26 year period. The recovery of isolates of identical multilocus genotype from geographically and temporally unassociated hosts is a common criterion of a clonal...
