Variations in gene organization and DNA uptake signal sequence in the folP region between commensal and pathogenic Neisseria species.

BMC microbiology - 17 Feb 2006

Qvarnstrom Yvonne, Swedberg Gote

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Horizontal gene transfer is an important source of genetic variation among Neisseria species and has contributed to the spread of resistance to penicillin and sulfonamide drugs in the pathogen Neisseria meningitidis. Sulfonamide resistance in Neisseria meningitidis is mediated by altered chromosomal folP genes. At least some folP alleles conferring resistance have been horizontally acquired from other...
