Allelic polymorphism and site-specific recombination in the opc locus of Neisseria meningitidis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 1996

Seiler A, Reinhardt R, Sarkari J, Caugant D A, Achtman M

Abstract excerpt

The opc gene is widespread in epidemic and endemic Neisseria meningitidis, but most strains of certain epidemic clones (ET-37 complex, Cluster A4) and a few random endemic isolates lack an opc gene. Four percent of the 1148 bp that contain opc plus the surrounding intergenic region was polymorphic (18 alleles), and many of the alleles contained a 230 bp insertion at a fixed location in the intergenic region. The...
