Inactivation of the porB gene reduces the virulence of Neisseria meningitidis in transgenic mice

Abstract Background Neisseria meningitidis is a human pathogen, carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx, that can also cause invasive meningococcal disease. Understanding the carriage/invasiveness balance is crucial, and bacterial genetic factors may impact this balance. A previous genome-wide a...
