Nonoverlapping association of BAST and cc among invasive meningococcal disease isolates, United Kingdom, 2010–2016. Frequency distribution of BAST by CC for the 7 most frequently found ccs that represent 82.4% (2,533/3,073) of culture-confirmed invasive meningococcal disease isolates. BAST-220, -223, -4, and -19 contain an exact match with BAST-1. BAST-2, -8, -219, -222, -232, -226, -231, -229, and -236 contain a potentially cross-reactive match with BAST-1. BAST, Bexsero Antigen Sequence Type;
