Fit genotypes and escape variants of subgroup III Neisseria meningitidis during three pandemics of epidemic meningitis

Zhu, Peixuan, Van Der Ende, Arie, Falush, Daniel, Brieske, Norbert, Morelli, Giovanna, Linz, Bodo, ...

The genetic variability at six polymorphic loci was examined within a global collection of 502 isolates of subgroup III, serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis. Nine “genoclouds” were identified,...
