The influence of recombination on the population structure and evolution of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 1999

Holmes E C, Urwin R, Maiden M C

Abstract excerpt

The extent to which recombination disrupts the bifurcating treelike phylogeny and clonal structure imposed by binary fission on bacterial populations remains contentious. Here, we address this question with a study of nucleotide sequence data from 107 isolates of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis. Gene fragments from 12 house-keeping loci distributed around the meningococcal chromosome were analyzed,...
