| disease susceptibility to st11 complex meningococci bearing serogroup c or w135 polysaccharide capsules, north america. | 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 primary immunization schedule in the united kingdom and elsewhere. st11 complex meningococci may also express ... | 2004 | 15504268 |
| evaluation of a diagnostic polymerase chain reaction assay for neisseria meningitidis in north america and field experience during an outbreak. | meningococcal infection has a high public profile because of its dramatic presentation, high fatality rate, and propensity to occur in outbreaks and clusters of cases. use of a diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay could enhance laboratory confirmation of cases and guide the public health response in north america. | 2002 | 12296761 |
| analysis of meningococcal serogroup c-specific antibody levels in british columbian children and adolescents. | the effects of age, sex, and possible prior exposure to serogroup c meningococci on group c-specific antibody levels (total and functional) were examined in 2- to 19-year-olds just before and 1 and 12 months after immunization with divalent (groups a + c) meningococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine. only age was found to have a significant effect on antibody levels. at 1 month, only 50% of 2- to 6-year-olds had detectable serum bactericidal antibody, in contrast to 84.1% and 96.3% of 9- to 12- ... | 1996 | 8603941 |

| acute pelvic inflammatory disease in outpatients: association with chlamydia trachomatis and neisseria gonorrhoeae. | among 830 women attending a clinic for sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 180 (22%) and neisseria gonorrhoeae from 84 (10%). retrospective analysis showed that 43 of the women were given outpatient treatment for acute pelvic inflammatory disease because they had low abdominal pain, deep dyspareunia, or unusual vaginal bleeding, or all of these, for less than 2 months in association with cervical motion or adnexal tenderness, or both. none had adnexal masses. c. ... | 1981 | 7305145 |

| in-vitro susceptibility of 400 isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae in vancouver, 1982-84. | consecutive isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae obtained at a sexually transmitted disease clinic in vancouver between june 1982 and june 1984 were tested for in-vitro susceptibility to eight antimicrobial agents. of the 400 isolates 6 (1.5%) were penicillinase-producing n. gonorrhoeae, and for 25 (6.2%) the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) of penicillin were 1.0 to 4.0 micrograms/ml. ceftriaxone sodium was the most active agent. the mics were higher than those reported in a canadian study ... | 1986 | 3091234 |
