Evolution of ST-4821 clonal complex hyperinvasive and quinolone-resistant meningococci: the next meningococcal pandemic?
2020-09-25
Abstract excerpt
The expansion of quinolone-resistant Neisseria meningitidis clone China CC4821-R1-C/B from ST-4821 clonal complex (cc4821) caused a serogroup shift from serogroup A to C in invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in China. To establish the relationship among globally distributed cc4821 meningococci, we analysed whole genome sequence data from 173 cc4821 meningococci isolated in four continents from 1972-2019. These...
