Plasmid diversity in neisseriae.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 2006

van Passel Mark W J, van der Ende Arie, Bart Aldert

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer constitutes an important force in prokaryotic genome evolution, and it is well-known that plasmids are vehicles for DNA transfer. Chromosomal DNA is frequently exchanged between pathogenic and commensal neisseriae, but relatively little is known about plasmid diversity and prevalence among these nasopharyngeal inhabitants. We investigated the plasmid contents of 18 Neisseria lactamica...
