Genetic characterization of clonal complex sequence type 2057 (cc2057) serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis strains unique to Japan and identification of a capsular-switched serogroup Y isolate cc2057

Only approximately 40 cases of invasive meningococcal diseases are reported annually in Japan, and the dominant strains are serogroup Y meningococci (MenY) followed by serogroup B meningococci (MenB). Within the last 10 years, strains belonging to clonal complex (cc)2057 have become dominant among J...
