Popis: The incidence of serogroup Y meningococcal disease has increased recently in the United States. Here, we describe the development of a 5′ exonuclease assay for the detection of serogroup Y Neisseria meningitidis and demonstrate the usefulness of this assay for resolving serogroup identification of strains that are resistant to conventional serogrouping and for the nonculture identification of serogroup Y meningococcal disease.
