| application of multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis to identify outbreak-associated neisseria meningitides serogroup c sequence type 4821 in china. | neisseria meningitidis (n. meningitidis) serogroup c sequence type (st)-4821 caused an outbreak in 2010 in shandong province of china. twenty-one non-outbreak-associated strains were isolated, along with twenty-eight n. meningitides serogroup c st-4821 isolates. therefore, it's essential to identify and clarify characterization of the real outbreak-associated strains with a rapid method during an outbreak investigation. in this study, multiple-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (mlva) ... | 2015 | 25603352 |
