Molecular typing of N. gonorrhoeae strains prevalent in the Russian Federation.
Genetic polymorphism of Russian population of N. gonorrhoeae was detected and a system for genotyping of its clinical strains was introduced into practice. Comparative analysis of the prevalence of N. gonorrhoeae genotypes in Russia and abroad was carried out. For adaptation of the methods of molecular typing of N. gonorrhoeae strains and its approbation on clinical strains isolated in Russia 41 clinical strains of N. gonorrhoeae were typed. The predominance of PIB serovar (83%) was demonstrated.
