First whole-genome sequencing characterization of culture-confirmed meningococcal carriage isolates in Türkiye
MeningoCARR-3 was a prospective, multicenter nasopharyngeal carriage study conducted at nine centers across six major Turkish cities. It included 1,585 children, adolescents, and young adults (0–24 years). PCR screening yielded a meningococcal carriage rate of 8.5% (n = 134). These are the WGS data for the culture-confirmed carriage isolates (n=47).
