Abstract excerpt

Several invasive serogroup B meningococcal strains phylogenetically related to the lineage III (ET-24) exhibited a mutator phenotype as shown by mutagenicity assay using rifampicin-resistance as a selection marker. Hypermutation was associated to the presence of defective mutL alleles that were genetically characterized. Interestingly, the mutator phenotype was suppressed when a non-functional recB(ET-37) allele,...
