Abstract excerpt

Phase variation, mediated through variation in the length of simple sequence repeats, is recognized as an important mechanism for controlling the expression of factors involved in bacterial virulence. Phase variation is associated with most of the currently recognized virulence determinants of Neisseria meningitidis. Based upon the complete genome sequence of the N. meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58, we have...
