Abstract:Summary. Serotyping of Neisseria gonorrhoeae based on the differential recognition by a panel of six monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Protein IB (PIB) is a valuable tool for studying the epidemiology of gonorrhoea. However, the predominance of certain serovars in specific geographic regions necessitates the development of new MAbs or new genotyping approaches. Nucleotide and amino-acid sequence analysis of PIB from strains within the IB-3 and IB-7 serovars revealed strain differences within the same serova… Show more
