Abstract excerpt
The neisseriae are naturally competent for DNA transformation. This genetic study examines whether the modification status of chromosomal donor DNA affects transformation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to drug resistance. When a single modification system was inactivated, unmodified chromosomal donor DNA was not restricted when used to transform the cognate restriction+ host, irrespective of whether the donor DNA...
