Molecular epidemiology of recent United Kingdom isolates of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Aug 1994

Yakubu D E, Abadi F J, Pennington T H

Abstract excerpt

The genomes of 34 recent United Kingdom isolates of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C were examined by restriction enzyme digestion and by conventional and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Strains were assigned to groups on the basis of the Dice similarity coefficient; strains with values of > 92% were considered to be clonally related. Twelve clones were identified by PFGE. Strains of two clonal groups...
