Abstract excerpt
Genetic exchange between Neisseria meningitidis (NM) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) has not been well studied. This study aimed to investigate evidence of genetic exchanges between these two species. All coincident paired NM and NG isolates cultured from pharyngeal swabs collected from a sexual health clinic in Sydney in 2021 underwent whole-genome sequencing. A gene-by-gene analysis of the 47 NM-NG pairs...
