Neisseria meningitidis remains the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia worldwide. We describe a case of invasive meningococcal infection caused by serogroup X N. meningitidis with a unique sequence type (ST-7) in China. The strain may have arisen from locally prevalent hypervirulent serogroup A clones by capsular switching events.
脑膜炎奈瑟菌仍然是全球细菌性脑膜炎和败血症的主要病因。我们描述了1例由X群脑膜炎奈瑟菌引起的侵袭性脑膜炎球菌感染病例，该菌株在中国具有独特的序列型（ST-7）。该菌株可能是通过荚膜转换事件从当地流行的高毒力A群克隆株演变而来。
