A segment of penA in Neisseria meningitidis strains (n = 127), including two nucleotide sites closely associated to reduced susceptibility to penicillins, was amplified and pyrosequenced. All results were in concordance with Sanger sequencing, and a high correlation between alterations in the two Peni-specific sites and reduced susceptibility to penicillins was identified.
