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...
