In the period 2008-2010, 309 Neisseria meningitidis, isolated in Italy within the National Surveillance of the Invasive Meningococcal Diseases, have been tested for their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The main results obtained are: (a) an increase of the strains of serogroup B and a decrease of serogroup C; (b) a phenotypic and genotypic variability of the ST-41/44 clonal complex, the most frequently isolated among serogroup B strains; (c) a decrease of ST-8 clonal complex among serogroup C meningococci whereas strains belonging to ST-11 clonal complex are nowadays the most frequently isolated.
在2008年至2010年期间，对在意大利国家侵袭性脑膜炎球菌疾病监测中分离出的309株脑膜炎奈瑟菌进行了表型和基因型特征检测。获得的主要结果如下：(a) B群菌株增加，C群菌株减少；(b) ST-41/44克隆复合体存在表型和基因型变异，该复合体是B群菌株中最常分离出的；(c) C群脑膜炎球菌中ST-8克隆复合体减少，而属于ST-11克隆复合体的菌株目前是最常分离出的。
