Orogenital Transmission of Neisseria meningitidis Causing Acute Urethritis in Men Who Have Sex with Men

Orogenital Transmission of Neisseria meningitidis Causing Acute Urethritis in Men Who Have Sex with Men

Neisseria meningitidis sequence type 11 is an emerging cause of urethritis. We demonstrate by using whole-genome sequencing orogenital transmission of a N. meningitidis sequence type 11 isolate causing urethritis in a monogamous couple of men who have sex with men. These results suggest disseminatio...
