Population genetics of the porB gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: different dynamics in different homology groups.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2000

Posada D, Crandall K A, Nguyen M, Demma J C, Viscidi R P

Abstract excerpt

The porB locus codes for the major outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Alleles of this locus have been assigned to two homology groups based on close sequence and immunological relationships and are designated as either PIA or PIB. Several population parameters were estimated and compared among these two groups using a data set of 22 PIA sequences and 91 PIB sequences obtained from diverse geographic...
