Genomic Analysis of the Evolution and Global Spread of Hyper-invasive Meningococcal Lineage 5

Genomic Analysis of the Evolution and Global Spread of Hyper-invasive Meningococcal Lineage 5

Background: The predominant model for bacterial pandemics is the emergence of a virulent variant that diversifies as it spreads in human populations. We investigated a 40-year meningococcal disease pandemic caused by the hyper-invasive ET-5/ST-32 complex. Methods: A global collection of Neisseria me...
