Abstract
We describe an atypical presentation of bacteremia caused by N. meningitidis serogroup X. By multilocus sequence typing the isolate was characterized to the sequence type 2139, which is not related with the clonal complex recently isolated in Africa. Since 1984, only six cases of serogroup X N. meningitidis infections have been diagnosed in Spain. Nevertheless, after the application of the conjugated vaccine, attention should be paid to the emergence of infections caused by unusual serogroups of N. meningitidis.Entities:
