A Life Identification Number Barcoding (LIN Code) System for Neisseria meningitidis: high resolution multi-level typing of meningococci.
2026-03-03
Abstract excerpt
Neisseria meningitidis is a commensal member of the human oropharyngeal microbiota that can cause devastating invasive meningococcal disease. This genetically and antigenically diverse 'accidental pathogen' has been a paradigm for the study of bacterial population biology. The meningococcus was the first organism for which a seven-locus multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed. With the addition of...
