| Abstract | In order to compare methods for subtyping Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B isolates, 96 isolates obtained from various locations in the United States and northwestern Europe were subtyped by five methods: monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based serotyping and serosubtyping, DNA macrorestriction analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE), ribotyping, and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the internally transcribed spacer region of the rRNA operon (ITS PCR-RFLP). All N. meningitidis serogroup B isolates were typeable by PFGE, MEE, ribotyping, and ITS PCR-RFLP. Only 44.8% of the isolates were completely typeable (both serotype and serosubtype determination) by MAb-based serotyping and serosubtyping. 60.4% of the isolates could be serotyped but not serosubtyped, and 90.6% of the isolates could be either serotyped or serosubtyped. Simpson's discrimination indices of diversity for the methods were as follows: PFGE, 99.7%; MEE, 99.4%; ribotyping, 98.8%; MAb serotyping, 75.8%; MAb serotyping and/or serosubtyping 97.5%; and ITS PCR-RFLP, 84.2%. The high degree of diversity observed by PFGE, MEE, and ribotyping can be explained by the fact that isolates were collected from different geographic locations at various times. PFGE, MEE, and ribotyping showed greater discriminatory abilities than MAb-based serotyping and serosubtyping or ITS PCR-RFLP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
