(A) Genotypes of N. meningitidis isolates determined by rep-PCR with a single 22-bp oligomer, BOXA1R. The PCR amplification and the primers used for rep-PCR are described elsewhere (6). Lanes 1, 4, 5, 6, and 10, serogroup C (ST-11, ET-37) isolates; lane 12 (new ST, undetermined ET) and lanes 11, 13, and 15 (ST-32, ET-5), serogroup B isolates; lane M, 1-kb DNA size marker. (B) Computer-generated dendrogram of partial rep-PCR analysis of the nine clones of N. meningitidis from the outbreak in Tamra with the BOXA1R primer. The cutoff is 85%; isolates with values over 85% are indistinguishable.
