Whole genome sequencing reveals within-host genetic changes in paired meningococcal carriage isolates from Ethiopia

Abstract Background Meningococcal colonization is a prerequisite for transmission and disease, but the bacterium only very infrequently causes disease while asymptomatic carriage is common. Carriage is highly dynamic, showing a great variety across time and space within and across populations, but a...
