Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was used to characterize 378 isolates of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C recovered during a period of an increase in group C meningococcal disease in Canada. Thirty-four enzyme electrophoretic types were found among the isolates, which were predominantly (96.0%) serotype 2a. One clone (ET 15), characterized by a rarely occurring allele for the enzyme fumarase, was responsible for a focal outbreak in Ontario followed by the spread of group C disease across the province. This clone, which occurred infrequently among strains isolated in 1986, accounted for over 65% of group C strains associated with meningococcal disease in Canada in 1990.
多位点酶电泳被用于鉴定在加拿大C群脑膜炎球菌病发病增加期间分离出的378株C群脑膜炎奈瑟菌。在这些分离株中发现了34种酶电泳类型,其中主要(96.0%)为血清型2a。一个克隆(ET 15),其特征是延胡索酸酶的等位基因罕见,导致了安大略省的局部暴发,随后C群疾病在全省传播。这个克隆在1986年分离的菌株中很少出现,在1990年加拿大与脑膜炎球菌病相关的C群菌株中占比超过65%。
