Correlating Epidemiologic Trends with the Genotypes Causing Meningococcal Disease, Maryland

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Epidemic meningococcal infection is generally caused by single clones; whether nonepidemic increases in infection are clonal is unknown. We studied the molecular epidemiology of meningococcal infection during a period that the incidence increased in two ...
