Analysis of Neisseria meningitidis serotype X (MenX) isolates from 3 refugees in Italy and comparison isolates from the Neisseria PubMLST database (http://pubmlst.org/neisseria/), as of December 28, 2016). A) Neighbor-net phylogenetic network based on a comparison of core genome loci of all MenX genomes (n = 36) available in PubMLST database. For each strain, the available designation by clonal complex (CC) or sequence type (ST) is indicated. B) Neighbor-net phylogenetic network showing 3 isolat
