Metabolism and virulence in Neisseria meningitidis

Metabolism and virulence in Neisseria meningitidis

A longstanding question in infection biology addresses the genetic basis for invasive behaviour in commensal pathogens. A prime example for such a pathogen is Neisseria meningitidis. On the one hand it is a harmless commensal bacterium exquisitely adapted to humans, and on the other hand it sometime...
