    FIG. 2.

    PCR amplification of the capsular transport gene (ctrA) for N. meningitidis (523-bp amplicon) is shown in lanes 1, 2, and 3, corresponding to the negative and positive controls (strain Nm573/03) and the peritoneal fluid, respectively. PCR amplification of the polysialyltransferase gene (siaD) for N. meningitidis serogroup B (450-bp amplicon) is shown in lanes 4, 5, and 6, representing the negative and positive controls (strain Nm573/03) and the peritoneal fluid, respectively. PCR amplification of the siaD gene for N. meningitidis serogroup C (250-bp amplicon) is shown in lanes 7, 8, and 9, pertaining to the negative and positive controls (strain Nm576/03) and peritoneal fluid, respectively. Lanes MW, 100-bp DNA ladder (0.8 μl/well).
