Population genetics of a transformable bacterium: The influence of horizontal genetic exchange on the biology of<i>Neisseria meningitidis</i>

Abstract excerpt

Information of the biochemistry and genetics of bacterial species, usually obtained by the study of single isolates, is enhanced by studies of populations of bacteria. Recent advances in molecular technology, particularly polymerase chain reaction-based nucleotide sequence analysis, provide powerful tools for the study of population genetics. Data obtained by such techniques indicate that, while some bacterial...
