Abstract excerpt
Primers were designed to amplify the rpoB gene of Neisseria meningitidis. The region of the gene amplified covered clusters I and II of the rifampin resistance (Rifr) mutation sites identified in Escherichia coli. DNAs from six Rifr isolates and 21 rifampin-susceptible isolates from the United Ki...
