Neisseria meningitidis C:2b:P1.2,5 with Intermediate Resistance to Penicillin, Portugal

For 1 year, serogroup, serotype, serosubtype, and penicillin susceptibility of meningococci circulating in various regions in Portugal were evaluated. Most frequent phenotypes were B:4:P1.15 (13.4%) and C:2b:P1.2,5 (75.9%), which are also common in Spain. Overall, 27.5% of C:2b:P1.2,5 strains showed...

Laboratory-based surveillance of meningococcal infection in Portugal provides important information to assess the adequacy of public health measures.
