Prediction of Prophages and Their Host Ranges in Pathogenic and Commensal Neisseria Species

Prediction of Prophages and Their Host Ranges in Pathogenic and Commensal Neisseria Species

ABSTRACT The genus Neisseria includes two pathogenic species, N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis, and numerous commensal species. Neisseria species frequently exchange DNA with one another, primarily via transformation and homologous recombination and via multiple types of mobile genetic elements (M...
