PCR and restriction endonuclease assay for detection of a novel mutation associated with sulfonamide resistance in Neisseria meningitidis.

Désirée E Bennett1, Mary T Cafferkey.   

Abstract

We identified a previously undocumented mutation in the dihydropteroate synthase (folP) gene associated with Neisseria meningitidis sulfonamide resistance. A PCR-based assay to detect this mutation, which is 100% predictive of sulfonamide resistance, was developed.
