Genomic analysis of the meningococcal ST-4821 complex-Western clade, potential sexual transmission and predicted antibiotic susceptibility and vaccine coverage.

Genomic analysis of the meningococcal ST-4821 complex-Western clade, potential sexual transmission and predicted antibiotic susceptibility and vaccine coverage.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The ST-4821 complex (cc4821) is a leading cause of serogroup C and serogroup B invasive meningococcal disease in China where diverse strains in two phylogenetic groups (groups 1 and 2) have acquired fluoroquinolone resistance. cc4821 was recently prevalent among carr...
