Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic characterization of 19 Neisseria gonorrhoeae serovar IB-2 and 8 serovar IB-6 isolates by the combined use of auxotypes, serological characterization, and penicillin susceptibility testing indicated intraserovar genetic diversity. In the present study, we applied whole-cell repetitive element sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) analysis which allows a rapid assessment of the clonal relationships of IB-2 and...
