Mismatch repair and the regulation of phase variation in Neisseria meningitidis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2001

Richardson A R, Stojiljkovic I

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis controls the expression of several genes involved in host adaptation by a process known as phase variation. The phase variation frequency of haemoglobin (Hb) receptors among clinical isolates of serogroups A, B and C differed drastically, ranging from approximately 10(-6) to 10(-2) cfu-1. Frequencies of phase variation are a genetic trait of a particular strain, as two unlinked Hb...
