The porA pseudogene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae--low level of genetic polymorphism and a few, mainly identical, inactivating mutations.

APMIS : acta pathologica, microbiologica, et immunologica Scandinavica - 1 Jun 2005

Unemo Magnus, Norlén Olov, Fredlund Hans

Abstract excerpt

N. meningitidis is the only Neisseria species known to express two outer membrane porins, PorA and PorB. However, a porA pseudogene has been identified in N. gonorrhoeae. The present study investigated the prevalence and genetic polymorphism of this porA pseudogene in 87 different N. gonorrhoeae strains. The porA pseudogene was identified in all isolates. The pseudogene comprised 12 (5.5%), of which 10 were...
