Population structure in the Neisseria, and the biological significance of fuzzy species.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface - 7 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic and genetic variation in bacteria can take bewilderingly complex forms even within a single genus. One of the most intriguing examples of this is the genus Neisseria, which comprises both pathogens and commensals colonizing a variety of body sites and host species, and causing a range of disease. Complex relatedness among both named species and previously identified lineages of Neisseria makes it...
