Mass antibiotic treatment to stop an outbreak of meningococcal disease: a molecular analysis L.H. Katz, A. Zelazny, S. Scharf, A. Hourvitz, N. Asor, Y. Arbeli, S. Yust-Katz, G. Smollan-Fredman, M. Gdalevich Clinical Microbiology and Infection Volume 13, Issue 9, Pages 943-946 (September 2007) DOI: 10.1111/j.1469-0691.2007.01767.x Copyright © 2007 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions

Fig. 1 Repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence-based PCR profiles of the clinical isolates (lanes 1 and 2) and the carriers before prophylaxis (lanes 3–12) and 2 weeks after prophylaxis (lanes 13 and 14). The profiles of the isolates from the sick children are identical and differ from the profiles of the isolates from the carriers. The isolates in lanes 5 and 6 share similar patterns. The isolates in lanes 10–14 belong to carriers from the period before prophylaxis, as well as 2 weeks afterwards, and share another similar pattern. Mw1, 1-kb DNA ladder; Mw2, 100-bp DNA ladder.

Fig. 2 Repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence-based PCR profiles of the isolates from carriers at 3 months after prophylaxis. The profiles of isolates in lanes 15–17, 19, 21, 23, 26 and 27 are closely related and resemble those of isolates from carriers before prophylaxis (Fig. 1, lanes 10–14). Mw1, 1-kb DNA ladder; Mw2, 100-bp DNA ladder.
