abstract：:Subtyping Neisseria meningitidis by methods that rely on monoclonal antibody (mAb) reactivity results in an unusually high number of strains that are not subtypeable. To subtype 48 strains isolated (1993-1994) in the province of Quebec that were not subtypeable by mAb-based techniques, we used DNA sequencing of the va...
