Validation of sodC gene-based PCR assay and antimicrobial resistance profiling of Neisseria meningitidis in asymptomatic carriers

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Neisseria meningitidis is one of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis and septicemia worldwide. The bacteriological culture was a widely used method for the detection of meningococcus, but it has low sensitivity and long waiting periods. Molecular detection targeting capsule transport gene was used, but over 16% of meningococcal carriage isolates lack ctrA and generate false-negative r...
