Epidemiology, hypermutation, within-host evolution and the virulence of Neisseria meningitidis.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Aug 2003

Meyers Lauren Ancel, Levin Bruce R, Richardson Anthony R, Stojiljkovic Igor

Abstract excerpt

Many so-called pathogenic bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are far more likely to colonize and maintain populations in healthy individuals asymptomatically than to cause disease. Disease is a dead-end for these bac...
