Development of a PCR algorithm to detect and characterize Neisseria meningitidis carriage isolates in the African meningitis belt
Improved methods for the detection and characterization of carried Neisseria meningitidis isolates are needed. We evaluated a multiplex PCR algorithm for the detection of a variety of carriage strains in the meningitis belt. To further improve the sensitivity and specificity of the existing PCR assa...
