Clonal expansion of new penicillin-resistant clade of serogroup W, clonal complex 11 Neisseria meningitidis, Western Australia
- Abstract:
- In Western Australia, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W clonal complex 11 became the predominant cause of invasive meningococcal disease in 2016. We used core-genome analysis to show emergence of a penicillin-resistant clade that had the penA_253 allele. This new penicillin-resistant clade might affect treatment regimens for this disease.
