Resumen

PLoS One. 2012;7(7): doi/10.1371/annotation/6318254d-3f13-4cca-8bbe-08d0ff29aa64. Dunning Hotopp, Julie C [adicionado].

Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B has been predominant in Brazil, but no broadly effective vaccine is available to prevent endemic meningococcal disease. To understand genetic diversity among serogroup B strains in Brazil, we selected a nationally representative sample of clinical disease isolates from 2004, and a temporally representative sample for the state of São Paulo (1988-2006) for study (n = 372).
