title: Multivariate analysis of Neisseria DNA restriction endonuclease patterns.
abstract: Chromosomal DNA was extracted from eleven Neisseria meningitidis and seven Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates and cleaved with the restriction enzyme HindIII. The DNA fragments were separated according to their size, using a 4% polyacrylamide gel. The band patterns obtained were digitized and statistically analysed by the SIMCA method. To develop the models for N. meningitidis (class 1) and N. gonorrhoeae (class 2), all eleven meningococci and seven gonococci, were used. All strains were classified correctly and showed an extremely good class separation.
