Abstract

The paper gives the results of an epidemiological monitoring of meningococcal infection and purulent bacterial meningitides in the Russian Federation in the period 2002-2011. It shows the epidemiological features of meningococcal infection, the etiology of bacterial meningitides, age-specific features, the serogroup characteristics of meningococci, and the status of laboratory diagnosis and analyzes the results of multilocus sequence typing of biosamples containing Neisseria meningitidis DNA from different regions of the Russian Federation.
