Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern–based cluster analysis of 27 N. meningitidis serogroup W135 isolates from China: 17 isolates were collected from persons in Hefei City, Anhui Province, and 10 were collected from persons from other provinces in China. Clustering was performed by using the Dice coefficient and an optimization setting of 1.2%. The dendrogram was generated by using the unweighted pair group method with averages. All isolates belong to the multilocus sequence type 11/electrop
