Frequent capsule switching in 'ultra-virulent' meningococci - are we ready for a serogroup B ST-11 complex outbreak?

Frequent capsule switching in 'ultra-virulent' meningococci - are we ready for a serogroup B ST-11 complex outbreak?

The meningococcal ST-11 complex (cc11) causes large invasive disease outbreaks with high case fatality rates, such as serogroup C (MenC) epidemics in industrialised nations in the 1990s and the serogroup W epidemic currently expanding globally. Glycoconjugate vaccines are available for serogroups A,...
