Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the emergence of Neisseria meningitidis W135 (NmW135) in Côte d'Ivoire and how it compares to the previously predominant NmA strain.
- Analysis of Nm samples collected between 2007 and 2012 revealed that NmW135 became more common, especially in northern health districts, while NmA samples have not been found since 2009.
- The findings suggest a significant shift in meningitis-causing bacteria in the region, emphasizing the need for improved surveillance to monitor bacterial trends and identify new serogroups.
