During the first 6 months of 1978, 114 strains of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from patients in Norway were serotyped. Among 27 group C strains, type 2 was most common, whereas 82% of the 82 group B isolates did not react with antisera to the standard serotypes 1 to 12. These strains were shown to belong to a new serotype, type 15. Also some group A and C strains had the type 15 antigen. Investigations on a possible immunoprophylaxis against group B meningococcal disease in Norway should accordingly proceed with type 15 rather than with type 2 meningococci.
1978年的前6个月,对从挪威患者身上分离出的114株脑膜炎奈瑟菌进行了血清分型。在27株C群菌株中,2型最为常见,而82株B群分离株中有82%不与1至12型标准血清型的抗血清发生反应。这些菌株被证明属于一种新的血清型,即15型。此外,一些A群和C群菌株也有15型抗原。因此,挪威针对B群脑膜炎球菌病的可能免疫预防研究应针对15型而非2型脑膜炎球菌进行。
