Neisseria meningitidis group B (MenB) strains isolated from 1976 to 1987 in Finland in 339 patients with invasive infection were sero/subtyped by whole cell enzyme immunoassay using monoclonal antibodies to class 1 and 2/3 outer membrane proteins. 66.7% of the strains could be serotyped (class 2/3) and 70.2% subtyped (class 1). No single phenotype was clearly predominant. The most common serotypes were 4 (18.6%) and 14 (17.4%) and the most common subtypes P1.16 (20.1%) and P1.2 (12.1%). The Norwegian phenotype B:15:P1.16 was seen only rarely (a total of 18 strains). Strains from Northern Finland did not differ from those from Southern Finland: no single phenotype caused the slight increase seen in the incidence of MenB infections in the end of 1970s in the North.
