Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is a highly variable bacterium. Indeed, N. meningitidis is naturally competent for transformation, and horizontal DNA exchange between strains may lead to mosaic genetic loci in N. meningitidis. We studied such an exchange in nature during an epidemic provoked by N. meningitidis. This epidemic started in the Czech Republic in 1993 and the original epidemic clone was shown to have the...
