Evolutionary Events Associated with an Outbreak of Meningococcal Disease in Men Who Have Sex with Men

11 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

Meningococci spread via respiratory droplets, whereas the closely related gonococci are transmitted sexually. Several outbreaks of invasive meningococcal disease have been reported in Europe and the United States among men who have sex with men (MSM). We recently identified an outbreak of serogroup C meningococcal disease among MSM in Germany and France. In this study, genomic and proteomic techniques were used...
