Epidemic spread of subgroup III of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A to South Africa in 1996.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 1 Nov 1998

McGee L, Koornhof H J, Caugant D A

Abstract excerpt

A total of 111 strains of Neisseria meningitidis isolated during a meningitis outbreak in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1996 were analyzed by serogrouping, arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction analysis, ribotyping, and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Nineteen different clusters were identified, and typing patterns for the three techniques were comparable. Of the 111 strains analyzed, 55 (49.5%)...
