Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA genotyping of serogroup A meningococci yields results similar to those obtained by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and reveals new genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) genotyping was applied to one representative strain of each of the 84 electrophoretic types (ETs) of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A previously defined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) (J.-F. Wang et al., Infect. Immun. 60:5267-5282, 1992). Twenty-seven additional isolates comprising six ETs were also tested. MEE and RAPD genotyping yielded similar...
