Natural transformation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae : from DNA donation to homologous recombination

9 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

Gonococci undergo frequent and efficient natural transformation. Transformation occurs so often that the population structure is panmictic, with only one long-lived clone having been identified. This high degree of genetic exchange is likely necessary to generate antigenic diversity and allow the persistence of gonococcal infection within the human population. In addition to spreading different alleles of genes...
