Gagneux,Sébastien, Wirth,Thierry, Hodgson,Abraham, Ehrhard,Ingrid, Morelli,Giovanna, Kriz,Paula, ...
The genetic diversity of 134 serogroup X Neisseria meningitis isolates from Africa, Europe, and North America was analyzed by multilocus sequence typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Although...
Clonal groupings in serogroup X Neisseria meningitis (2002)
Gagneux, Sébastien, Wirth, Thierry, Hodgson, Abraham, Ehrhard, Ingrid, Morelli, Giovanna, Kriz, Paula, ...
Musilek, Martin, Giorgini, Dario, Hamadouche, Nora, Kriz, Paula, Taha, Muhamed-Kheir
Strains of Neisseria meningitidis of serogroup B isolated in the Czech Republic frequently belong to serotype 22. We analyzed the genetic relationships among strains of this serotype by using the...
Heterogeneity of the PorB Protein in Serotype 22 Neisseria meningitidis
Urwin, Rachel, Fox, Andrew J., Musilek, Martin, Kriz, Paula, Maiden, Martin C. J.
The genetic diversity of porB genes from meningococcal isolates characterized as serotype 22 was investigated by gene sequencing. This procedure identified seven distinct porB sequences,...
Vázquez, Julio A., Arreaza, Luisa, Block, Colin, Ehrhard, Ingrid, Gray, Stephen J., Heuberger, Sigrid, ...
Previous studies have shown that there is considerable variation in the methods and media used to determine the susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis to antimicrobial agents in different...
Yazdankhah, Siamak P., Kriz, Paula, Tzanakaki, Georgina, Kremastinou, Jenny, Kalmusova, Jitka, Musilek, Martin, ...
The distribution of serogroups and multilocus sequence types (STs) in collections of disease-associated and carried meningococci from the period 1991 to 2000 in three European countries (the Czech...
Interlaboratory Comparison of PCR-Based Identification and Genogrouping of Neisseria meningitidis
Taha, Muhamed-Kheir, Alonso, Jean-Michel, Cafferkey, Mary, Caugant, Dominique A., Clarke, Stuart C., Diggle, Mathew A., ...
Twenty clinical samples (18 cerebrospinal fluid samples and 2 articular fluid samples) were sent to 11 meningococcus reference centers located in 11 different countries. Ten of these laboratories are...

Taha, Muhamed-Kheir, Vázquez, Julio A., Hong, Eva, Bennett, Desiree E., Bertrand, Sophie, Bukovski, Suzana, ...
Clinical isolates of Neisseria meningitidis with reduced susceptibility to penicillin G (intermediate isolates, PenI) harbor alterations in the penA gene encoding the penicillin binding protein 2...
The Effect of Immune Selection on the Structure of the Meningococcal Opa Protein Repertoire
Callaghan, Martin J., Buckee, Caroline O., Jolley, Keith A., Kriz, Paula, Maiden, Martin C. J., Gupta, Sunetra
The opa genes of the Gram negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis encode Opacity-associated outer membrane proteins whose role is to promote adhesion to the human host tissue during colonisation...
A chromosomally integrated bacteriophage in invasive meningococci
Bille, Emmanuelle, Zahar, Jean-Ralph, Perrin, Agnes, Morelle, Sandrine, Kriz, Paula, Jolley, Keith A., ...
Cerebrospinal meningitis is a feared disease that can cause the death of a previously healthy individual within hours. Paradoxically, the causative agent, Neisseria meningitidis, is a common...
