Here we describe an accurate nucleotide-sequencing method for the confirmation of serogroup Y and W135 meningococci by siaD gene analysis from cultures of Neisseria meningitidis.Journal of clinical microbiology2697-9https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC156478biostudies-literatureIdentification of Neisseria meningitidis serogroups Y and W135 by siaD nucleotide sequence analysis.PMC156478Clarke SCLewis CfalseIdentification of Neisseria meningitidis serogroups Y and W135 by siaD nucleotide sequence analysis.Rapid serogrouping of meningococci is essential for the effective public health management of cases of the disease and the contacts of infected patients.
