Clonal expansion of sequence type (ST-)5 and emergence of ST-7 in serogroup A meningococci, Africa.
One hundred four serogroup A meningococci in our collection, isolated in Africa from 1988 to 1999, were characterized by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Our results and data from the Internet indicate that sequence type 5 (ST-5) strains were responsible for most of African outbreaks and sporadic cases during this period. In 1995, a new clone, characterized by ST-7 sequence, emerged and was r...
متن کاملCharacterization of invasive serogroup Y meningococci in Italy: prevalence of ST-23 Complex/Cluster A3.
The percentage of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup Y isolated from patients with invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Italy has increased from 1998 to 2006. In this study, phenotypic features and genetic relatedness have been investigated in all serogroup Y meningococci isolated during that period. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) identified the ST-23 complex/Cluster A3 as the major clonal ...
متن کاملMeningococci of Serogroup X Clonal Complex 181 in Refugee Camps, Italy
Four cases of infection with serogroup X meningococci (MenX) (1 in 2015 and 3 in 2016) occurred in migrants living in refugee camps or reception centers in Italy. All MenX isolates were identified as clonal complex 181. Our report suggests that serogroup X represents an emerging health threat for persons arriving from African countries.
متن کاملRetraction: Clonal Analysis of Meningococci during a 26 Year Period Prior to the Introduction of Meningococcal Serogroup C Vaccines
The authors wish to retract this article at the request of the Scottish Haemophilus Legionella Meningococcus Pneumococcus Reference Laboratory (SHLMPRL). Although the work was part of an independently-funded research grant awarded to Stuart Clarke, Matthew Diggle and Robert Davies by the Scottish Executive, they did not have permission from the current SHLMPRL management to publish the data in ...
متن کاملDisease Susceptibility to ST11 Complex Meningococci Bearing Serogroup C or W135 Polysaccharide Capsules, North America1
Clusters of meningococcal disease caused by a hyperinvasive lineage of Neisseria meningitidis, the ST11 complex, bearing a serogroup C polysaccharide capsule, have been prominent in Europe and North America since the early 1990s. This situation has led to expensive public health measures for outbreak control and, finally, to the introduction of a serogroup C glyconjugate vaccine into the primar...
