A gonococcal porA pseudogene: implications for understanding the evolution and pathogenicity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1998

Feavers I M, Maiden M C

Abstract excerpt

Members of the genus Neisseria, including the human pathogens Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, express at least one member of a family of related porins. N. meningitidis is the only species known to express a second porin, the meningococcal serosubtyping antigen PorA, the most divergent member of this family. Unexpectedly, a porA gene was identified in the gonococcal genome. Both the gonococcal...
