With coagglutination reagents prepared against W antigens, 205 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were classified into three serogroups WI, WII, and WIII. Of 195 strains isolated from patients who acquired their infection in the Edinburgh area, 85 (44%) belonged to serogroup WI and 110 (56%) to serogroup WII. Serogroup WII accounted for 90% of all isolates from homosexual men and for 34% and 47% of isolates from heterosexual men and women respectively (p less than 0.001). In homosexual men serogroup WII predominated regardless of the anatomical site from which the strain was isolated, and accounted for 94% of rectal, 90% of urethral, and 81% of pharyngeal isolates.
利用针对W抗原制备的协同凝集试剂,将205株淋病奈瑟菌临床分离株分为三个血清群WI、WII和WIII。在从爱丁堡地区感染淋病的患者中分离出的195株菌株中,85株(44%)属于血清群WI,110株(56%)属于血清群WII。血清群WII在所有来自男同性恋者的分离株中占90%,在来自异性恋男性和女性的分离株中分别占34%和47%(p<0.001)。在男同性恋者中,无论从哪个解剖部位分离出菌株,血清群WII均占主导地位,在直肠分离株中占94%,尿道分离株中占90%,咽部分离株中占81%。
