Abstract

ABSTRACTWe developed a nonculture method to predict the susceptibility ofNeisseria meningitidisto penicillin G. ThepenAgene was amplified and submitted to restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. This approach was first validated with a collection of 75 meningococcal strains of known phenotypes. It was next successfully applied to 29 clinical samples.
