摘要
At a clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, we observed an increase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae negative men with suspected gonococcal urethritis who had urethral cultures positive for N. meningitidis. We describe genomes of 2 of these N. meningitidfiis sequence type 11 complex urethritis isolates. Clinical evidence suggests these isolates may represent an emerging urethrotropic clade.
