| Abstract | The meningococcal population is very genetically and antigenically diverse due to the
genome plasticity of N. meningitidis (Nm). This organism undergoes frequent horizontal
gene transfer. Considering that isolates from carriers seems to be the principal source of
virulence alleles and gene exchange, understanding the meningococcal population among
carriers is of utmost importance for epidemiology and public health interventions. The
aim of this study was to determine the molecular characteristics of Nm isolated from
carriers in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In total, 59 meningococcal isolates were collected in
a cross-sectional study of 11-19 year-old carriers living in Salvador, Brazil, in 2014. | pt_BR |
