RESUMO
A nonculture PCR-based method to characterize Neisseria meningitidis was used to test 225 clinical specimens. PCR correctly identified and predicted the serogroups of N. meningitidis of culture-proven meningococcal diseases and confirmed this diagnosis in 35% of suspected samples. This approach could be useful when culture fails to isolate N. meningitidis.
