Pneumococcal meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae strains has been reported as the third primary aetiology of bacterial meningitis in parts of Northern Nigeria. However, information on the genotypes of S. pneumoniae strains circulating in Northern Nigeria is unavailable in the literature. Genotyping is being practiced widely in medical microbiology and has been shown to be an invaluable tool in tracking strains responsible for disease outbreaks. We aimed at determining the genotypes of S. pneumoniae tracked to a pneumococcal meningitis outbreak in parts of Northern Nigeria. The multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme, a DNA sequencing based genotyping method of sequencing segments of seven internal housekeeping genes, was used. The PubMLST.org database and Bacterial Isolate Genome Sequence Database software was equally used.
