2. Figure 1
Genetic relationships of electrophoretic types (ETs) of N. meningitidis strains. The dendrogram was generated by the average-linkage method of clustering from matrix of coefficients of pairwise genetic distance (based on seven enzyme loci) for 13 ETs. Strain number, antigenic phenotypes (APs), pulse types (PTs) and electrophoretic types (ETs) are indicated.

3. Figure 2
PFGE separation of N. meningitidis genomic DNA. DNAs cleaved with the endonuclease NheI were separated into 16 different pulse types (PTs) by PFGE. (A) Lane 1, strain (PT A1); lane 2, strain (PT E); lane 3, strain (PT A4); lane 4, strain (PT F); lane 5, strain (PT A8); lane 6, strain (PT A7); lane 7, strain (PT C); lane 8, strain (PT I1); lane 9, strain (PT I2); lane 10, strain (PT II). (B) Lane 1, strain (PT A5); lane 2, strain (PT A2); lane 3, strain (PT A3); lane 4, strain (PT A6); lane 5, strain (PT B). Lanes M, standards (lambda concatemer). Sizes (kb) of standard DNA molecules are indicated. The strain (PT D) is not shown.

4. Figure 3
Dendrogram showing similarities between the NheI pulse types of the 30 N. meningitidis strains on the basis of the results of PFGE analysis. The dendrogram was generated by the UPGMA method of clustering from matrix of Dice similarity coefficients. The similarity among the patterns is indicated below the dendrogram as a percentage. Strain number, antigenic phenotypes (APs), pulse types (PTs) and electrophoretic types (ETs) are also indicated.

5. Figure 4
Similarity matrix of the closely or possibly related pulse types (PTs) of serogroup B isolates from Cerdanyola during 1987–93. The value of the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) between 63% and 95% is depicted by three different tones in the matrix.
