The Influence of IS1301 in the Capsule Biosynthesis Locus on Meningococcal Carriage and Disease
Figure 5
Presence of IS1301 in the IGR of carriage isolates and disease isolates.
Carriage (C) and disease (D) isolates were analysed for the presence of IS1301 in the IGR depending on the numbers of loci the STs share with ST-269. Black bars represent strains with IS1301 in the IGR and white bars show the frequency of isolates without IS1301 in the IGR. Numbers above bars indicate the total number of isolates.
